What is the secret of making crispy waffles?

The key to crispy waffles lies in the batter’s fat and sugar content, more oil or butter for crispiness and a little extra sugar for caramelization. Preheat your waffle iron to ensure it’s very hot before adding the batter, allowing it to cook without interruption.
