Slowly add the butter to the mixture and whisk until fully incorporated (you're aiming for a glossy batter, and you shouldn't see any fat along the sides of the bowl). Slowly add the water, whisking to combine. You might need to add more milk and/or water until you get a nice consistency (not too thin, not too thick).

Cook up waffles according to the waffle maker's directions. (Make sure they're golden and crisp!) Serve immediately. If making for a large group, put finished waffles on a cooling rack over a baking sheet, then place in a warm (200u00b0 F) oven. Enjoy with your choice of toppings: crispy bacon and maple syrup, smoked salmon, lox, sour cream or creme fraiche, thinly sliced red onion, chopped chives, chopped dill, capers, a variety of roes (whitefish, bleak, tobiko, or even caviar if you're feeling fancy).
