TIPS FOR MAKING

PERFECT WAFFLES

We recommend setting #3 when using commercial pancake/waffle mixes.

We recommend setting #4 for most homemade (from scratch) waffle recipes.

If you prefer crisper, darker waffles, increase the browning control.

For evenly filled waffles, pour the batter into the centre of the lower grid and spread out evenly to the edges. The entire lower grid should be filled.

For best results, we recommend using 3/4 cup (175 ml) batter to fill the entire lower grid.

Waffles taste best when made to order, but baked waffles may be kept warm in a 200°F (95°C) oven. Place in a baking pan or wrap in foil while in the oven. Waffles wrapped in foil may lose their crispiness.

Baked waffles may be frozen. Allow to cool completely, then place in plastic food storage bag. Use waxed paper to keep waffles separated. Reheat in a Cuisinart® toaster or toaster oven when ready to use.

SUGGESTED TOPPINGS

RECIPES

BASIC BELGIAN WAFFLES

You can’t beat the taste of homemade waffles. Freeze the extras to use when time is scarce.

Makes twelve 4-inch (10 cm) waffles

2cups (500 ml) all-purpose flour

2tablespoons (25 ml) sugar

1tablespoon (15 ml) baking powder 1/2 teaspoon (2 ml) salt

2-1/4 cups (550 ml) reduced fat milk

6tablespoons (90 ml) vegetable oil

2large eggs

Place ingredients in a large mixing bowl and combine until well blended and smooth. Let batter sit 5 minutes before using. Preheat your Cuisinart® Belgian Waffle Baker on setting #4* (green indicator light will be illuminated when preheated).

Pour 3/4 cup (175 ml) batter onto preheated waffle baker grid. Using a heat-proof plastic spatu- la, spread batter until evenly distributed. Allow bat- ter to bubble for 5 - 10 seconds, then close cover of waffle baker. Indicator light will turn red. When light turns green again, waffle is ready. Open cover and carefully remove baked waffle. Repeat with remaining batter. For best results, serve immedi- ately. However, you may keep waffles warm in a 200°F (95°C) oven until ready to serve.

*We recommend using setting #4 to achieve a golden brown baked waffle. Adjust the browning control if you prefer lighter or darker waffles.
