USEFUL TIPS

• Fully cooked waffles freeze well. When cooled to room temperature, simply wrap individually in plastic wrap or place in a freezer bag and close airtight. They can be kept frozen for several months.
• Packaged pancake mix, including the whole wheat variety, makes delicious waffles. Follow the package directions for waffles.
• Don’t use water to clean the nonstick waffle plates; simply allow them to cool and brush off any crumbs that may be left in the grids. Cotton swabs are handy for cleaning between the ridges.
• For lighter waffles, separate the eggs and beat the egg whites to soft peaks and fold in just before cooking the waffles.
• For extra crispy waffles, add 2 to 3 Tbsp. of melted butter or oil to the batter.
• Waffles can be kept warm by placing them on a rack or a cookie sheet in a preheated oven set to 300ºF.
• Never stack cooked waffles; this makes them soggy.
• To reheat waffles, use your preheated toaster oven and set it to 350º F for about 5 minutes.
• Using a waffle mix? Add some excitement! Just before cooking, stir in:
  • Mashed banana
  • Chopped walnuts, macadamia nuts, toasted almonds, or pecans
  • Diced fruit, such as apples, peaches, plums, or berries
  • Well-drained crushed pineapple
  • Chopped cooked bacon, ham, or crumbled sausage
