FAQ
Q: What type of flour should I use?
A: You should use cake flour for this recipe. Cake flour is a type of flour that is finely milled and has a lower protein content than all-purpose flour. It is ideal for making light and fluffy waffles.
Q: How do I make the waffles crispy?
A: To make the waffles crispy, you can preheat your waffle iron and lightly grease it with cooking spray or butter. You can also reduce the amount of liquid in the batter to make it thicker, which will help the waffles crisp up. Finally, be sure to cook the waffles until they are golden brown.
