Notes
Don't overmix: Avoid stirring the batter excessively to maintain its light texture.
Add sparkling water last: Once you have prepared the batter, add the sparkling water just before cooking the waffles. The carbonation in the sparkling water helps create a lighter and airier texture, resulting in crispier waffles.
Preheat the waffle iron: Ensure that your waffle iron is properly preheated before pouring the batter. A hot waffle iron helps cook the waffles quickly and evenly, resulting in a crispy exterior.
Use a cooling rack: After cooking, place the waffles on a cooling rack to maintain their crisp texture.
