Notes
Storage: Store leftover waffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a toaster or oven at 350°F for 5-7 minutes to restore crispness. Make-Ahead: Prepare the batter up to 1 hour ahead and refrigerate; cook waffles fresh for best texture. Whipped cream can be made 4 hours ahead and stored covered in the fridge. Variations: Substitute strawberries with blueberries, raspberries, or sliced bananas. For a gluten-free option, use a 1-to-1 gluten-free flour blend. Serve with maple syrup or a dusting of cocoa powder for extra flair.
