FAQs
Can I use regular milk instead of buttermilk?
Yes, you can use regular milk. You can also make a quick buttermilk substitute by adding 1 tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice to 1 cup of regular milk and letting it sit for a few minutes.
What type of waffle maker works best for this recipe?
A standard round or square waffle maker works great. If you have a Belgian waffle maker, the thicker waffles will hold more of the gooey filling.
Can I freeze these waffles?
Yes! You can freeze the cooked waffles. Just place them in a single layer, freeze until solid, and then transfer them to a zip-top freezer bag. To reheat, toast from frozen until warm and crispy!
