Tips and Substitutes
- Store the leftover waffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They’ll be good in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. reheat just before serving.
- For freezing, stack up the waffles between 2 layers of waxed paper, place in an airtight container, and freeze. You can freeze the waffles for up to 3 months.
- Prior to eating just defrost, reheat into the toaster.
- Use gluten-free flour or oat flour in place of wheat flour.
- We used Maple Syrup, but you may also use honey.
- Coconut oil preferred but other neutral-tasting oils will work.
FAq’s
Every waffle maker will vary in the amount of time needed for the waffles to fully cook. It should not take longer than 5 minutes at the most. It is best to check for the indictor light to turn off or change color to know that your waffles are ready.
If your waffles are sticking it could be one of many reasons why this is happening. Is your waffle maker non stick? if not then you need to add non stick spray. Also, another reason is that your waffle mix doesn’t have enough eggs or oil which causes it to stick.
If your waffle maker is non-stick, you do not need to spray it. The oil added to the batter along with the eggs will act as a binding agent and wont let the waffle get stuck to your waffle maker. Using PAM spray will only cause a a buildup and gets tacky.
