Basic Waffles

After trying out many waffle recipes over the past weeks, this recipe for basic waffles is what I've been using the most. It's really easy and simple, and they turn out well...they're crispy and light, yet have good body. And the recipe adapts well to many variations, some of which I've listed. Great to serve with sweetened berries and whipped cream, good maple syrup or a yummy fruit sauce like peach rum sauce.

To freeze the waffles for quick breakfasts (you'll never want to buy frozen waffles again!), cool waffles on a rack then place them in a single layer on baking sheets. Freeze until firm, then package them in airtight containers or freezer bags. They should freeze well for up to 3 weeks.
