How to Keep Waffles Warm (and Not Soggy) from The Fauxmartha
Okay, first things first, how delicious do those whole wheat waffles look? The photo is from Erin of Naturally Ella, whom I had the pleasure of meeting last week at the Altitude Design Summit.
When you’re planning your brunch for this weekend, use this tip from The Fauxmartha on how to keep waffles warm—this would also work for pancakes, if you’re planning to start celebrating February’s National Pancake Month.
To keep waffles (or pancakes) warm without getting soggy: Don’t stack them when you take them out of the waffle iron. The steam will cause them to lose their crispness. Instead, place them in a single layer on a baking sheet and put them in the oven turned on to 250° Fahrenheit. That will keep them warm until you’re ready to serve them.
Head over to The Fauxmartha for her tips on reheating waffles as well, and get more tips from our test kitchen here.

Thanks for including me! So honored. Bummed I didn’t meet you at ALT last week.
Mel, I’m sorry I missed you as well! If you’re ever in NYC let me know, and we can grab coffee or a drink or something.
Great tip! We make waffles all the time, I wish I’d thought to do this! Thanks!
I’d love that! I’ll actually be there Feb 11 for a little blogger thing. I live semi-down the road (in New Haven, CT). If not then, I’ll be back plenty of other times!
