Use the measuring scoop to measure the
batter and pour into the preheated waffle
iron. Use a heatproof spatula to spread
the batter evenly over the grids. Close lid
and rotate waffle maker 180˚ to the right.
Bake the waffles in the waffle iron until
beeper indicates that the waffle is done.
Rotate waffle maker 180˚ to the left.
Remove waffle and repeat until all batter
is used. Waffles may be kept warm in a
low 200°F (93°C) oven.
Place waffles arranged on a cookie sheet
on a rack in the warm oven. Serve with
whipped cream, fruit, jam, powdered
sugar, or warm fruit syrup.
*We recommend using setting #4 to
achieve a golden brown baked Belgian
waffle. Adjust the browning control if you
prefer lighter or darker waffles.
