Tips and Tricks for Waffle Success
- Test the Texture: If your batter feels too sticky, add a little more flour. If it’s too dry, mix in a bit more applesauce or water.
- Shape Matters: Use cookie cutters to cut cooled waffles into fun shapes for a festive twist. Stars, hearts, or even paw shapes add a touch of holiday magic.
- Batch and Freeze: These waffles freeze beautifully! Make a big batch, and store extras in an airtight container in the freezer. When your pup deserves a special treat, just thaw and serve.
