🧾 Groceries

💭 Top tips
- Use fresh ingredients for best results. Old baking powder and/or baking soda (more than a year for baking powder and more than a month for baking soda) will not produce good results.
- Do not mix the batter too much. This can activate the gluten in the flour and lead to hard waffles.
- Use a good quality waffle maker, like It’s from All-Clad. A good quality waffle maker will give your waffles a crispy exterior while maintaining a light and airy interior.
