How to Keep Waffles Crispy When Feeding a Crowd

There is nothing quite like a waffle right out of the iron. The butter melts perfectly and the crunch of the crust pairs perfectly with the soft doughy inside. Cold waffles are almost a different meal entirely. They turn bricklike when left alone on the counter or rubbery and limp under a pile. Neither is very appetizing -- and they are certainly unsuitable for your guests. If you have a crowd of hungry people waiting, and you want to keep them coming back, keep your waffles crisp and delicious until you're ready to serve everyone.
