Place the cast iron waffle maker over medium heat until thoroughly heated. Lightly grease both sides with butter or oil.
Pour about ½ cup of batter onto the center of the waffle iron. Close the lid, flip the waffle maker and cook for 2 minutes. Carefully flip the waffle maker and cook for another 2 minutes, or until the waffle is golden brown and crisp.
Serve warm, or allow the waffles to cool completely before placing them in a freezer-safe bag for future breakfasts.
Transfer the pancakes to a plate and serve warm with fresh fruit, maple syrup, Greek yogurt, or your favorite toppings.
