Crispy Waffle
To get a thin, crispy waffle, you can pour the batter thinly into the preheated waffle maker and cook longer until it becomes crisp. If it doesn’t get as crispy as you prefer, you can place them on a baking rack and bake inside a 250F (121 C) oven for fewer than 7 minutes.
By placing the waffle on a rack rather than directly on the sheet, you are letting the hot air circulate around the waffle to keep it crisp.
Fluffy Waffle
What makes a fluffy waffle lies on how the egg was incorporated during the mixing process. You would need to whip in more air into the mixture but it has to be done gently not to overwork the gluten and make your waffle tough.
On the other hand, you can whip egg whites to be foamy and fold it into your waffle batter. This makes the waffle super fluffy since the air bubbles get trapped inside the batter, giving the batter a spongy texture.
Toppings for Waffle
You can munch down on waffles with just about any toppings and thankfully, there are several options available. Some of the topping for waffles include butter, fruits, syrups, chocolate chips, whip cream, honey, yogurt, bacon, chicken, peanut butter, jam, jellos, caramel, fried eggs, etc.
