Notes
To oil the waffle iron, simply rub oil on with a paper towel. We usually like to avoid oil when possible (see our Why No Oil post to learn more), although when using waffle irons we've found it to be necessary to prevent sticking. We find that it takes twice as long for these waffles to cook than the typical white flour/egg/milk waffle. The middle will firm up nicely, just be patient!
