Notes
Leftover waffles can be cooled to room temperature then wrapped in plastic and frozen. They reheat well. If you want them to get crispy you can even reheat them in your toaster or toaster oven.
You can easily vary the waffles with your favorite additions such as chocolate chips, blueberries, nuts or even crumbled bacon.
Serve plain with butter and syrup or with a fruit or fruit compote and whipped cream.
