WAFFLE-MAKING TIPS
•
When making waffle batter
, mix just until large lumps disappear.
Overmixing can make waffles tough. For thick batters that do not pour
easily, spoon the batter onto the waffle grid and use a heat-resistant
spatula to spread it evenly to the edges of the grid.
•
If using a waffle mix
, stuffed waffles work best with mixes that call for the
addition of eggs and oil.
•
Fillings such as meats
, chicken, and eggs should be fully cooked before
using to make waffles, and frozen foods should be fully thawed. The waffle
maker does not heat long or hot enough to cook raw food or adequately
heat frozen food.
•
If using canned fruits
(excluding pie filling) or canned vegetables, drain as
much liquid as possible from the can before using it in the waffle maker.
•
If using solid food for filling
, add the food to the waffle maker and gently
press it down with the back of a spoon so it settles into the batter. Cut
large foods into smaller pieces so they can properly fit in the cooking plate.
•
Do not overfill with fillings
. This can cause the batter to leak during
cooking or cause the waffle to break apart when removed from the waffle
maker. The total amount of filling should generally not exceed about
2 Tbsp. If filling with meat or chicken, use a thinner cut so the proper
amount of batter (
1/3
cup) can be added to the top. Adding fillings may
take some experimenting.
