TIPS TO MAKE
PERFECT WAFFLES
• Setting #1 will produce the lightest colour
waffles. Setting #5 will produce the darkest
colour waffles. Experiment to determine which
setting produces the best waffle colour for
you. We recommend setting #3 for golden
brown waffles.
• We recommend using the provided measuring
cup. Depending on the thickness of the batter,
you may be using between
¾ and 1 cup of
batter per waffle. Always err on less rather
than more, as batter tends to expand while
cooking.
• Do not overfill the waffle maker – it should not
be filled to the top of the waffle grid. Always
use the provided measuring cup as a guide.
• Most batters should be poured through
the fill spout in a steady stream. Thicker
batters, however, should be added a bit more
carefully, being sure that the batter in the
spout drips into the waffle grid before adding
more.
• Batters should be whisked well to be sure
there are no lumps. If the batter is not flowing
easily through the spout, it is too thick. Either
whisk to a smoother batter, or add additional
liquid, 1 tablespoon at a time.
• Excess batter will rise into the fill spout
creating an extra piece. This extra piece may
be easily removed for serving.
• Looking for an easy way to add your favourite
flavours? Substitute a small amount of the
flour for your favourite finely ground nuts
(pecans, walnuts, almonds, etc.). Do you
prefer sweet berries? Swirl up to
¼ cup of a
fruit jam into
the prepared waffle batter prior to cooking.
Not only will the waffles taste delicious, but
they will also have a beautiful colour to them.
• If adding mix-ins to the batter, they should not
be any larger than a mini chocolate chip.
• Waffles are best when made to order, but
baked waffles may be kept warm in a 90°C
oven. Place them on a rack fitted into a
baking pan or loosely cover in foil while in the
oven.
• Baked waffles may be frozen. Allow to cool
completely, then wrap well in plastic wrap
and place in a plastic food storage bag.
Use waxed paper to keep waffles separated.
Reheat in a toaster or toaster oven when
ready to eat. Waffles can be stored in the
freezer for up to 2 months.
• The provided measuring cup rests neatly
on the inside of the batter bowl for clean
countertops.
