  • Use a waffle maker that is designed for thick waffles: This will help to ensure that the waffles are cooked evenly and have a crispy exterior.
  • Be careful not to overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can result in tough waffles. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Cook the waffles according to the manufacturer's instructions: Different waffle makers have different cooking times, so be sure to follow the instructions in your waffle maker's manual.
