FAQ

Can I use homemade lemon curd instead of lemon pie filling?
Yes! Homemade lemon curd makes these waffles extra rich and flavorful.

Can I make the batter ahead of time?
It’s best to make the batter fresh, but you can prepare the dry and wet ingredients separately and combine them right before cooking.

Do I need to grease the waffle iron?
If your waffle iron is nonstick, you may not need to, but lightly greasing helps the waffles release more easily.

These Lemon Pie Waffles are a sunny, cheerful twist on classic waffles. Whether you enjoy them for breakfast, brunch, or dessert, their bright citrus flavor will always bring smiles to the table.
