Cool and Serve: Carefully remove the waffles from the iron and let them cool slightly on a wire rack for 2 to 3 minutes before serving. Enjoy them warm, plain, or with your favorite toppings.
For an extra touch of flavor, add a pinch of cardamom or cinnamon to the flour mixture.
If your dough seems too wet, add a tablespoon of flour at a time until it reaches the desired consistency.
Do not overmix the dough after adding the pearl sugar, as this can cause the sugar to dissolve and lose its texture.
Ensure your waffle iron is hot enough before baking the waffles for optimal caramelization and crispness.
Leftover waffles can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or frozen for longer storage. Reheat in a toaster or oven for best results.
