What Makes These Waffles So Special?

The combination of baking powder and baking soda ensures that the waffles puff up beautifully while cooking, giving them that perfect waffle texture—crispy on the outside and light on the inside.

Serving Suggestions

These waffles are a canvas for your favorite toppings! Serve them with a drizzle of maple syrup, a sprinkle of powdered sugar, or fresh berries for a classic breakfast. For something more indulgent, try adding Nutella, whipped cream, or even chocolate chips. They also pair beautifully with a side of crispy bacon or sausage for a savory-sweet combo.

Storage and Freezing Tips

• Storage: Store any leftover cooked waffles in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat them in a toaster or oven for a crispy exterior.
• Freezing: These waffles freeze wonderfully! After cooking and cooling, place them in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze. Once frozen, transfer them to a freezer-safe bag. When ready to eat, just pop them into the toaster or oven straight from the freezer.

Homemade Waffle Mix Recipe

Ingredients for the Mix:

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt

To Make Waffles:

• 1 batch of Homemade Waffle Mix
• 1/2 cup milk (or a dairy-free alternative)
• Cooking spray or melted butter (for greasing the waffle iron)

Optional Toppings:

• Maple syrup
• Fresh berries
• Whipped cream
• Nutella
• Sliced bananas
• Chocolate chips

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Homemade Waffle Mix:
   In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined. If not using immediately, store the mix in an airtight container for future use.
2. Make the Waffle Batter:
   In a separate mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of the homemade waffle mix with 1/2 cup of milk (or a dairy-free alternative). Stir until the batter is smooth and well combined. The batter should be thick but pourable.
3. Preheat the Waffle Iron:
   Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Lightly grease the waffle iron with cooking spray or melted butter to prevent the waffles from sticking.
4. Cook the Waffles:
   Pour the prepared waffle batter onto the preheated waffle iron, spreading it evenly to cover the surface. Close the lid and cook according to the waffle iron’s instructions, typically for about 3-5 minutes, or until the waffles are golden brown and crispy.
5. Serve Warm:
   Once the waffles are cooked, carefully remove them from the waffle iron and place them on a serving plate. Serve the waffles warm with your favorite toppings like maple syrup, fresh berries, whipped cream, Nutella, sliced bananas, or chocolate chips.
6. Enjoy!
   Your homemade waffles are ready to be devoured! These waffles are perfect for breakfast, brunch, or even as a dessert, and can be customized with your favorite toppings to suit your taste.

Extra Tips:

• To make a larger batch, simply double or triple the homemade waffle mix and store it in an airtight container for future use.
• For a little extra flavor, try adding a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the waffle batter before cooking.
