06 Step

Let the batter rest for 40 minutes at room temperature. This allows the gluten to relax and results in a more tender waffle. (Estimated time: 40 minutes)
07 Step
Recipe View
Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions. Lightly grease the waffle iron with non-stick cooking spray or melted butter. (Estimated time: 5 minutes)
08 Step
Recipe View
Pour the appropriate amount of batter onto the hot waffle iron, spreading evenly. Cook according to the waffle iron's instructions, until golden brown and crispy. (Estimated time: 3-5 minutes per waffle)
For extra flavor, try adding a pinch of ground cinnamon or nutmeg to the batter.
Serve immediately with your favorite toppings, such as fresh berries, whipped cream, maple syrup, or chocolate sauce.
If you don't have self-rising flour, you can make your own by combining 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour with 4 teaspoons baking powder and 3/4 teaspoon salt.
The resting time is crucial for achieving the right texture. Don't skip it!
To keep waffles warm while cooking the rest of the batch, place them on a wire rack in a preheated 200°F (93°C) oven.
