Notes
- For Extra Crispiness – Add 1-2 tablespoons of vegetable oil or melted butter to the batter for crispier waffles.
- Avoid Overmixing – Stir until just combined; a few lumps are okay. Overmixing can make the waffles dense.
- Let the Batter Rest – Let the batter sit for 5 minutes before cooking. This helps create fluffier waffles.

- Keeping Waffles Warm – Place cooked waffles in a 200°F oven on a wire rack to keep them crispy until serving.

- Savory Waffle Option – Skip the sugar and mix in cheese, herbs, or bacon for a delicious savory waffle variation.
How to Store Krusteaz Waffles
If you have leftover waffles or want to make them ahead for easy breakfasts, here’s how to store them properly:
Storing in the Refrigerator:
- Let Them Cool – Allow the waffles to cool completely before storing to prevent them from becoming soggy.
- Use an Airtight Container – Stack the waffles with a piece of parchment paper between each to keep them from sticking together.
- Refrigerate for Up to 3 Days – Store in the fridge for up to 3 days for the best taste and texture.
Freezing Krusteaz Waffles:
- Cool Completely – Let waffles cool to room temperature before freezing.
- Layer with Parchment Paper – Stack waffles with parchment or wax paper between each to prevent sticking.
- Use a Freezer Bag or Container – Place the stacked waffles in a freezer-safe bag or airtight container. Remove excess air before sealing.
- Freeze for Up to 2 Months – For the best quality, use frozen waffles within 1-2 months.
Reheating Krusteaz Waffles:
- Toaster (Best for crispiness) – Toast frozen or refrigerated waffles on medium until hot and crispy.
- Oven – Place waffles on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F for 5-10 minutes.
- Microwave – Heat for 30-45 seconds, but note that microwaving may soften them instead of keeping them crispy.
