How To Make Fluffy And Crisp Waffles

Making homemade waffles is easy, but there are a few steps that will help you get the best waffles each and every time. If you are looking for fluffy and crisp homemade waffles, see our tips below.

  • Buttermilk | Buttermilk in waffle batter reacts with the powder giving your waffles the ultimate fluff. If you want your waffles to be extra fluffy add just a bit more baking powder!
  • Egg Whites | If you want moist and delicate waffles, whip up egg whites and fold it into your batter. We have found that gives you a light texture while still crisping up and making it golden on the outside.
  • High Heat | One thing many miss is starting with a hot waffle iron. Get that nice and hot so it will provide you with a nice crisp texture on your waffle. If you do a low heat, you will get a soft waffle.
