# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • You can sneak a handful of strawberries in and suddenly breakfast feels like dessert on a weekday.
  • It’s forgiving: lumps are fine and that makes it perfect for bleary-eyed mornings.
02 -
  • Once, I tried to rush and overmixed the batter—my waffles came out tough, so gentle mixing is the secret.
  • Resting the batter for a few minutes before cooking really makes the waffles lighter and fluffier.
03 -
  • If your waffle iron sticks, rub it with a bit of butter after each batch for easy release and buttery edges.
  • Letting the cooked waffles rest briefly on a wire rack instead of a plate keeps them crisp, not soggy.
