QUICK ‘N EASY
BELGIAN WAFFLE MIX
Try this Quick ‘N Easy Variety Mix batter,
the results will be light & airy waffles your
family will love.
2
cups (500 ml) waffle
Variety-Baking mix
2
tablespoons (25 ml) vegetable
oil
1 egg
1¹⁄³ cup (325 ml) milk
Beat all ingredients with hand mixer until
smooth.
Preheat your Cuisinart™ Belgian Waffle
Maker on setting #4 or preferred setting
(green indicator light will be illuminated
when preheated).
For best results, do not open waffle maker
during cooking process. Doing so will
offset the timing mechanism.
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.
* We recommend using setting #4 to
achieve a golden brown baked Belgian
waffle. Adjust the browning control if
you prefer lighter or darker waffles, as
required.
CLASSIC BELGIAN WAFFLES
Classic Belgian waffles have a crispy
outside and are soft and moist on the
inside. They are often served as part of a
celebration – even to celebrate
something as simple as a beautiful day.
Try these waffles with your favourite
syrup or a topping such as sliced fresh
strawberries and freshly whipped cream.
