Notes
Any kind of dairy or non-dairy milk will work with this recipe. For a richer flavor, use milk with a high percentage of fat.
Fully cooked waffles freeze well for up to 3 months. Before freezing, let them cool completely, then stack with parchment or waxed paper between each waffle. Store in a freezer-safe container or zip top bag.
