4 Things to Know About Making Waffle Batter Ahead of Time

You can make waffle batter a few hours ahead, but not overnight. The baking powder activates immediately, and the batter goes flat if left too long.

Overnight prep requires keeping dry and wet ingredients separate. Mix them together in the morning for the best results.

Refrigerating mixed batter slows the reaction but doesn’t stop it. The longer it sits, the less lift your waffles will have.

A good waffle is worth the extra two minutes of mixing. Don’t sacrifice texture for convenience.
