    Set waffle iron to medium and preheat until the indicator is ready; if using cast iron, brush lightly with safflower, vegetable, or canola oil. For an 8-inch square machine, scrape in half of the batter per batch. For a 7 inch Belgian machine, scrape in about one-third. Close lid and griddle until golden brown but still steaming, 5 to ⏱️ 7 minutes depending on the depth and heat of your machine. (Cooked waffles can be held on a rack in a 200°F (90°C) oven while remaining batches are cooked.) Serve immediately with maple syrup, lemon chantilly, and/or strawberries.
