Note
Storage: Store leftover waffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a toaster or oven to restore crispiness.
Substitutions: You can use canned pineapple rings instead of tidbits if preferred. For a vegetarian version, substitute the pork sausage with plant-based sausage crumbles.
Tip: Ensure the waffle iron is properly heated before adding the batter to achieve a crispy exterior. Do not overmix the batter, as this can result in tough waffles.
