  3. Can I store leftover crispy waffles, and how should I reheat them?

    Yes, you can store leftover crispy waffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply pop them in a toaster or an oven at 350°F (175°C) for a few minutes until they are crispy again.

  4. What dietary modifications can I make to this crispy waffle recipe?
