For extra crispy waffles, preheat the waffle iron thoroughly. Don't overcrowd the waffle iron; work in batches to ensure even cooking. Feel free to experiment with different spices in the waffle batter to customize the flavor profile. Serve immediately for the best texture. Reheating may result in slightly softer waffles.
