How to store Homemade Waffles from Scratch
Waffles can be stored in the fridge for a few days, but I prefer just to put them straight in the freezer. That way you can toast them anytime and they’ll be fresh. Girl: I like the Renaissance.Boy: Oh yeah? What do you like about it? The art?Girl: No, mostly, like, the chivalry . . . and the style.Boy: So should I call you m’lady for the rest of the night?Girl: No. Yikes. It’s so fun to eavesdrop on other couples’ awkward date conversations. Makes me glad I am happily married, so instead of lame discussions about, like, Renaissance chivalry, we can talk about the consistency of Charlotte’s diaper content that day, and come to a conclusion about whether or not she has diarrhea. They are the best waffles I have ever tasted. Waffles are always appropriate, day or night, rain or shine. To quote from Parks and Recreation: Leslie (eating a waffle piled with whipped cream up to her chin): Why would anybody ever eat anything besides breakfast food?Ron (eating an entire plate of bacon): People are idiots, Leslie. Hear, hear. Here’s what happens if you overfill your waffle maker. Don’t be like me. UPDATE July 2018: Here we are 10 years after messing up this recipe the first time, and these waffles are still a stand by in our house. We made them just last Saturday, and Eric said, why don’t you reshoot these? The world needs to know about the best waffles. Someone gave us a waffle iron for our wedding that had this ingenious function of being able to remove the iron part from the electrical mechanisms so that you could clean it easier. They were held up with these metal clasp things. Except that eventually they got worn out, so the burning hot irons would fall on your hands when you were trying to get out a waffle. So a few years ago we finally bought a new waffle iron and I did my research. I wanted a good Belgian style one. I decided on this Presto Flipside waffle maker: you flip the whole iron over after you pour in the batter, just like the waffle irons you see in hotels with complimentary breakfast. I love this iron and it hasn’t failed me yet! The other tip, that is the oldest in the book, is to whip the egg whites and add them last. This makes for the FLUFFIEST waffles ever!! I know it’s annoying to get another bowl dirty, but I’m telling you it’s worth it. You need three bowls for this recipe but one of them will just have dry ingredients and you can wipe it out and put it back in the cupboard. I’m lazy like that. So really it’s only a 2 bowl recipe. If you wanna get fancier, try The Best Lemon Curd, Cinnamon Honey Butter, Coconut Syrup, or Fresh Strawberry Topping. Or add fresh fruit and whipped cream, yummmm. To keep these warm until you’re ready to serve them, just heat your oven to 200 degrees and put these in a baking dish, uncovered, so they stay nice and crispy.
