Why are my waffles soft and not crispy?

Soft waffles may happen if the waffle iron isn't hot enough. Also, make sure your iron is preheated before adding your batter. A waffle iron should be so hot that it sizzles when you drop water on it. If you have a temperature control on your waffle iron make sure it's at the hottest. If you don't, it may be time to get a new waffle iron.

Do I have to warm my ingredients to make waffles?

For best results, you'll want to make sure your liquids are warm to make waffles. When mixing batters of any type it's important to make sure your ingredients are all at the same temperature. This not only helps with mixing but also with texture. For waffles, your batter will mix together more easily, which will result in less mixing and a fluffier waffle.

What can I top my waffles with?

Instructions

Preheat waffle iron.
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, cinnamon and salt, set aside.
In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, warm milk, melted butter, and vanilla until well incorporated.
Slowly pour the milk mixture into the flour mixture whisking together until incorporated (don’t overmix).
Let batter rest for 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, make your topping. In a small bowl add sugar and cinnamon together, mix together.
Ladle the batter into a preheated waffle iron and spread the batter out. Don’t overfill the waffle iron (it will create dense waffles).
Sprinkle cinnamon sugar topping lightly onto the batter and using a butter knife slightly smooth the topping into the batter. Avoid adding thick layers of cinnamon sugar.
Close the lid and cook the waffles until golden and crisp. *Note depending on the waffle iron it may get a little messy. If the sugar is sticking to the iron too much add a little batter on top of the cinnamon sugar and spread it out (make sure it’s not too thick).
Serve waffles immediately, top with butter and maple syrup (sprinkle a little extra cinnamon sugar on top just before serving).

Notes

Carefully wipe down the waffle iron while it’s still warm to remove any leftover cinnamon and sugar.

Place leftover waffles in an airtight bag and refrigerate for 3 days or freeze for up to a month. Reheat waffles in the toaster.
