Notes
Makes 7, 7" round waffles.
To freeze the waffles:
Place the cooled waffles in a single layer on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Freeze for about 1 hour. After the waffles have frozen, package them in Ziplock storage bags and freeze. Freezing them first individually will help the waffles not stick together.
When you are ready to serve the waffles, pop the frozen waffles into the toaster and let them cook until they are warmed through and lightly crisped.
