Recipe notes and variations

• If after step 3 the waffle batter looks too dry and isn’t holding together, add another egg. If it looks too wet, add flour, one tablespoon at a time, until the mixture can hold its shape.
• You can make a big batch at once and save the waffles you don’t eat in the freezer.  Then reheat them in the toaster when you’re ready to eat.
