I use two waffle irons to speed up the process.
If the waffles crumble, use a larger percentage of oat or rye flour.
You can store them in the refrigerator or freezer or
I usually put them on a rack and let them throughly dry out.
They will keep at room temperature for several weeks.
To revive them, douse with water and heat in the microwave.
They are great for camping or backpacking. Each square weighs 2 oz.
You can heat them on your camp stove or over the fire.
Chew thoroughly! Great with butter, almond butter and honey.
