Question 1

Can I make waffles with freshly milled flour?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you sure can this recipe uses 100% freshly milled hard white and soft white wheat to create waffles with crisp edges and tender centers.

Question 2

Which wheat berries work best for waffles?

Accepted Answer

I like a 60/40 blend of hard white and soft white wheat. Hard white wheat gives the waffles structure, while soft white wheat keeps the centers from becoming heavy.

Question 3

Why aren’t my waffles crispy?

Accepted Answer

The waffle iron may not be fully heated, or the cooked waffles may be steaming as they sit. Preheat the iron completely and place each finished waffle on a wire rack instead of stacking them ontop of each other.

Question 4

Do I need to sift freshly milled flour?

Accepted Answer

No, you don’t need to, but you can if you want to. Whisking the dry ingredients thoroughly distributes the baking powder and breaks apart any small flour clumps without adding another step. Unless you want to sift out some of the bran, making a lighter waffle. Read this guide How to Sift Freshly Milled Flour | When, Why & How.

Question 5

Can I freeze homemade waffles?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can. Cool the waffles completely, freeze them in a single layer, and transfer them to an airtight freezer-safe container. Reheat them directly from frozen in a toaster or oven.
