FAQs
Can I make this recipe dairy-free?
Yes, you can substitute the cheese with a dairy-free alternative or omit it, though the chaffle may be less crispy without cheese.
Can I prepare the batter ahead of time?
It’s best to cook the chaffles right after mixing for optimal texture, but you can prepare the batter and refrigerate it for up to 24 hours before cooking.
