• Do not overfill your waffle iron. The batter will expand as it cooks, and a little goes a long way.
• Let the cooked chaffle rest on a wire rack for a minute or two after cooking. This helps it firm up and achieve maximum crispiness.
• Make a large batch and freeze them! Separate chaffles with parchment paper and store in a freezer-safe bag. Reheat in a toaster or air fryer.
