Instructions
- Mix flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl.

Tips & Substitutions
For extra fluffy waffles, separate the egg whites and beat them until stiff peaks form before folding them into the batter. You can also substitute half of the flour with whole wheat flour for a nuttier flavor. If you prefer a dairy-free option, almond or oat milk works well instead of regular milk.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these yummy waffles with a drizzle of maple syrup and fresh fruits like strawberries or blueberries. They also pair beautifully with Aunt Nez's Rolls for a delightful brunch spread. For a savory twist, top with whipped cream and nuts, or try them with a side of crispy bacon.

Store leftover waffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply pop them in a toaster or toaster oven for a few minutes until crispy. For longer storage, you can freeze them for up to 2 months, separating each waffle with parchment paper.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make the batter ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the batter a few hours in advance and store it in the refrigerator. Just give it a good stir before pouring it into the waffle iron. However, for the best texture, it's recommended to use it fresh.
What should I do if my waffles stick to the iron?
Make sure to preheat your waffle iron adequately and grease it with a little oil or cooking spray before pouring in the batter. If they still stick, you may need to adjust the amount of fat in your batter.
Can I add flavors or mix-ins to the batter?
Absolutely! You can mix in chocolate chips, vanilla extract, or spices like cinnamon for added flavor. For a fruity version, try adding mashed bananas or blueberries directly into the batter.
