FAQs
Can I make the batter ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the batter a few hours ahead and keep it covered in the refrigerator. Give it a quick stir before cooking as the ingredients might settle.
Can I use regular flour instead of almond flour?
While almond flour gives these waffles a unique texture and flavor, you can substitute it with all-purpose flour. Adjust the quantity slightly and watch the batter consistency to avoid over-thickening.
