Chef's Tips

• Separate the eggs for extra-light Belgian waffles.

• Do not overmix the batter; a few lumps are perfectly fine.

• Serve the chocolate sauce warm for the best consistency.

• Use high-quality chocolate (60–70% cocoa) for a richer flavor.

• Toast leftover waffles in the oven or toaster to restore their crispness.
