Cook's notes

- Let the batter rest for 2-3 minutes after mixing for lighter waffles.
- Store the dry mix in an airtight container in a cool, dark place for up to 3 months.

- Instead of 2 bread flour, use 2 cups whole wheat flour (increase liquid slightly)
- Instead of 3 1/2 all-purpose flour, use 3 1/2 cups gluten-free all-purpose blend
- Instead of 1/4 baking powder, use 1 tablespoon baking powder + 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

- Instead of 1 milk, use 1 cup almond milk, oat milk, or buttermilk
- Instead of 2 butter, use 2 tablespoons coconut oil or vegan butter
Frequently asked
Can I use this mix for pancakes?
Yes! Simply reduce the milk by 2-3 tablespoons to get a slightly thicker batter for pancakes. Cook on a griddle as usual.
Why are my waffles not crispy?
Ensure your waffle iron is fully preheated and lightly greased. Also, avoid overmixing the batter—stir just until moistened. For extra crispiness, let waffles rest on a wire rack instead of stacking them.
Can I make this mix vegan?
Absolutely. Replace the egg with a flax egg (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed + 3 tablespoons water) and use plant-based milk and butter. The texture will be slightly denser but still delicious.
How do I adjust for high altitude?
At altitudes above 3,000 feet, reduce baking powder by 1/4 teaspoon and increase milk by 1-2 tablespoons. You may also need to add an extra tablespoon of flour.
