Hints and tips
• When preparing your Classic and Luxury waffle batters, make sure that you don’t
over-mix. Ideally these batters should be slightly lumpy. Producing smooth batters will
result in chewy waffles that won’t rise well.
• If you are preparing more than 1 batch of waffles, keep these warm in your oven until
the others are ready. Arrange in a single layer in an oven tray and place into your
oven at a low heat. This way everyone can enjoy their waffles at the same time.
• Freezing and reheating waffles is easy. Allow to cool completely and then stack 2
waffles with a layer of baking parchment between each one. Wrap in plastic wrap or
a freezer bag and freeze. To reheat simply pop the frozen waffles into your toaster or
under the grill.
