Notes
You can prepare a batch in advance and freeze your waffles for later use. Remember to let the waffles cool down on a cooling rack. It is important to use a cooling rack so that the moisture can escape. If you were to place them on a plate, for example, the steam created by the cooking process would render your waffle "wet" and mushy.
Once your waffles are completely cold, place them in a freezing bag and remove as much air as you can from the bag. Place the bag in the freezer. Reheat your waffles in a toaster as you need them. You can keep them for up to a month in your freezer.
