TIPS TO MAKE PERFECT WAFFLES

We recommend setting #3 or #4 for golden brown waffles, either from mix or homemade.

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

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

We recommend using 112 cups batter per waffle for most recipes.

Waffles are best when made to order, but pre- baked waffles may be kept warm in a 200° F 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 separat- ed. Reheat in toaster or toaster oven when ready to use.

SUGGESTED TOPPINGS

Maple syrup, fruit syrups Warm fruit compote, fruit sauce

Fresh berries, chopped fruit, chopped nuts Powdered sugar

Whipped cream, ice cream, sorbet Chocolate sauce

Pour 112 cups batter onto preheated waffle maker grid. Using a heat-proof spatula, spread batter until evenly distributed. Allow batter to bubble for 5 - 10 seconds; then close cover of waffle maker. 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 oven until ready to serve.
