Tips from my kitchen

  • Low-fat cottage cheese works well, but full-fat will give a richer and better texture.
  • I like to let the batter sit for 5 minutes to help the flour hydrate and get a fluffier waffle.
  • Donโ€™t overmix the batter. Mix until just combined.
  • Even if the waffle maker is non-stick, donโ€™t forget to grease it with cooking spray.
  • Donโ€™t rush it. Cook until golden brown.
  • Best served warm.

Customize it

There are many different ways to customize these waffles to make it your own. Here are some ideas that you may want to try.

  • Add some cinnamon for a hint of warm flavor.
  • Like chocolate? Add in some chocolate chips or add 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder to the flour mixture to make it fully chocolate.
  • Add some fresh or frozen blueberries.
  • For savory waffles, skip the honey and try adding chives, garlic powder, or even shredded cheese!
