Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
How crispy are Fried Waffles?
Fried Waffles are delightfully crispy on the outside while remaining fluffy on the inside. The frying process creates a golden brown exterior that adds a satisfying crunch to every bite.
Can I use whole wheat flour instead of refined flour?
While you can substitute whole wheat flour for refined flour, remember that it may slightly alter the texture and flavour of the waffles. Whole wheat flour tends to produce denser waffles, so you may need to adjust the batter consistency accordingly.
Can I freeze Fried Waffles for later?
Yes, you can freeze Fried Waffles for later enjoyment. Allow them to cool completely, then place them in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze until solid. Once frozen, transfer the waffles to a freezer bag or container and store them for up to one month. To reheat, toast them in a toaster or warm them in the oven until heated.
