Waffle Baking Tips
Waffle sticks are a great treat that can
be enjoyed by everyone. There are many
combinations of batters, icings and
decorations which are great for customising
your waffle sticks exactly how you like them.
Here are some steps to help you achieve
mouth watering waffle sticks every time.
• Do not open the waffle stick maker during
the first minute of baking or the waffles
will separate. Completely bake the waffles
before removing.
• When the waffles are done, the top lid
should lift easily. Lift the lid gently, if it
pulls, continue cooking for 30 seconds and
test again.
• When preparing the waffle batter, do not
over-mix or the waffles will be tough. Stir
the batter only until the large lumps or dry
ingredients disappear.
• The optimal amount of batter to produce a
full shaped waffle, without overflowing, will
vary with different waffle batters.
• For more evenly spaced waffles; spread
thick batters to the outer edge of the
moulds using a plastic spatula before
closing the lid. Taking care not to scratch
the non-stick coating.
• To retain crispness, cool the waffles on a
wire rack.
• To keep waffles hot and crispy, place
them directly on the racks in the oven at
between 90-120ºC, these will keep for
about 20 minutes before they begin to dry
out. This is especially good if you want
to serve all the waffle sticks at once for a
party.
• Cooled waffles can be re-warmed and
crisped up by popping them into a toaster
on the lowest setting, or by returning them
to the hot waffle maker. Place them back
in the waffle maker on the lower cooking
plate to match the moulds and heat for 1-2
minutes, taking care not to burn them.
• Cooked waffles freeze well, firstly cool
them completely on a wire rack and
store them in a plastic freezer bag,
separate each waffle with a piece of
baking parchment. Frozen waffles can be
re-heated in the oven or toaster until hot
and crisp.
• Always ensure that plates are greased
before cooking to make the removal of
cooked waffle sticks easy.
• Not all 6 moulds need to be filled when
using the waffle stick maker.
• Cooked waffle sticks can be placed onto
plastic lolly sticks or straws to serve.
• Gently fold through egg whites to make a
fluffy light waffle.
• Recipes that contain buttermilk tend to
have a thicker batter.
• Once steam has stopped billowing out of
the waffle maker, wait 1 minute and the
waffles will be perfectly cooked.
