Notes
If you are using whole wheat, allow the batter to rest for 5-10 minutes before cooking the waffles. Letting it rest allows the wheat to absorb more of the liquid and it will thicken the batter.FREEZER MEAL: Cool the waffles completely, before storing them in an airtight zip-close bag. Reheat the frozen waffles in a toaster oven or in the microwave.
