Make-Ahead and Freezing Instructions
To Make-Ahead: Waffles are best made fresh, but if you have leftovers, just store them in a resealable container in the refrigerator for up to four days. To reheat, pop them into the oven or toaster until warmed through. The strawberry sauce can be made a day ahead. Just store the sauce in a jar and reheat it in the microwave.
To Freeze: Waffles can be frozen to keep them fresh for up to three months. Just stack them with a piece of wax paper in between the layers, wrap them, and freeze. To defrost, leave them on the counter for 30 minutes or pop them straight into the oven or toaster until warmed through.
