Waffles are the sweet treat of markets and fairgrounds, and now you can make them right at home. Beautiful golden squares with deep, well-defined pockets, crisp on the outside and soft on the inside, drizzled with melted chocolate or dusted with icing sugar and topped with strawberries. Pure warm happiness in every bite.

The secret to a crisp waffle lies in a batter with a little butter and some resting time, plus a properly hot waffle iron. Don’t open the iron too early, or the waffle will tear apart before it’s fully cooked.
