They provide the best flavor and texture.Also, make sure your baking powder is fresh. If your waffles are flat, it could be old baking powder causing the issue.It is a good idea to stand close to the waffle iron to keep track of cooking time.

Storing Tips
Fridge: Store leftover waffles in an airtight container for 2-3 days in the fridge. Freezer: Arrange waffles on a sheet pan, and freeze until hard (about 2 hours). Then place in a Ziploc bag, and store in the freezer for up to 3 months. Reheating: You can reheat the waffles from frozen or chilled in the microwave, oven, toaster, or air fryer. My favorite way to reheat waffles is in the toaster as they turn out crispy. © Little Sunny Kitchen
