Batter for waffles differ from pancakes mostly in the amount of oil used
in the batter. If I'm making waffles, I add some oil. I also like to
lightly spray the iron with canned oil. The surface texture comes out a
lot different if you do. Without the spray, it comes out very finely
textured. You may or may not like it that way. I also flip the iron
upside down before adding the batter. Don't forget to flip it back!
That's just a weird habit I got into.
