Notes

Waffle makers come in different sizes and shapes, so you might have the adjust the amount of batter that goes in to make sure it doesn't spill over when the waffles are cooking - you can end up with quite a mess!
Do not be tempted to add more liquid to the batter, it might look a bit thick, but it works perfectly for waffles, if it's too wet and thin, you won't get the lovely crunchy on the outside and fluffy on the inside texture.
