Notes
Note that each waffle maker will be different. Our waffle maker is a large Belgian waffle maker and it took 10 minutes for each waffle to cook. A smaller waffle maker may only take 6-8 minutes. We suggest doing a test trial with one waffle to make sure you don't over or undercook the rest of the batch.
Optional: feel free to stir in 1/2 cup chopped chives to the waffle batter for extra flavor.
