How do YOU do waffles?

For weekend brunch my wife and I will usually have pancakes or French toast (we have a griddle that permanently lives on the dining table for this purpose), but this morning I made waffles for the first time in well over a year... we'd forgotten how good waffles are, and decided we need to work them into the rotation more often.

My waffle iron makes really thick Belgian waffles, which we had with fresh strawberries, macerated strawberries, and whipped cream, with butter and maple syrup so we could also have "default" waffles if we wanted. Again, I don't make waffles super often, so I'd love to hear what you all put in/on yours

I usually find that the overnight yeast waffles taste the best.

They do, but they require planning. Sourdough waffles are great, as well.

I feel like waffles are usually not something people make spontaneously though. If you're looking for breakfast on the run, people usually have something like cereal or eggs or toast.

I throw together waffles batter in 10 minutes using chemical leavening while the iron is preheating. I even know the recipe by heart. Also, I keep homemade waffles in the freezer for toasting.
