Tips For Perfectly Baked Waffles

1. Stir your waffle batter only until large chunks of dry ingredients are dissolved.
Over mixing the waffle batter can cause the waffles to be hard.
2. The exact amount of batter needed to make perfect full-sized waffles depends on the type and
consistency of the batter. Use the same ladle or measuring cup each time to determine how
much batter you need to fill the lower plate fully so as to cover the peaks in the plate.
3. When making softer variety of waffles, once they are baked, make sure to cut the waffles into
halves or in 4 quarters and support them with a spatula at the bottom so it is easier to take them
out from the plates, since softer waffles can break easily.
4. When making large batches to serve at once, you can keep the waffles fresh & crisp by placing
them in a preheated oven at 200°F. Take them out using oven mitts when you are ready to serve.
5. To avoid waffles with a moist base, kept the waffles on a wire cooling rack. This will retain the
crispness of the waffles.
6. You can reheat your waffles in the waffle maker. Pre-heat the waffle maker. Once preheated,
place the waffles on the lower plate so they fit the grooves correctly, then close the waffle maker
and heat for 1 minute, checking every 30 seconds to avoid burning.
7. You can also freeze your waffles to eat later. After the freshly baked waffles have cooled
completely, pack them in a covered container or plastic freezer bag. Make sure to separate the
waffles with a sheet of wax paper between each waffle. To reheat the frozen waffles, place in a
pre-heated oven, toaster oven or toaster until they are hot.
For lower sugar waffles and/or toppings:
• Use sugar substitutes.
• Use organic agave nectar.
• Use low-sugar preserves, marmalades or jellies.
• Use macerated dried fruits such as figs, dates, prunes.
• Use apple or mango sauce.
• Use sugar-free maple syrup.
For lower fat, lower cholesterol waffles:
• Use skim milk, almond milk, coconut milk, soy milk, etc.
• Adapt recipes by eliminating egg yolks.
• Always use liquid vegetable oils such as canola, corn or sunflower, instead of butter.
For higher fiber waffles:
• Substitute half of the recipe white flour with whole-wheat flour.
• Substitute one-quarter of the recipe white flour with wheat or oat bran.
• Use macerated high-fiber dried fruits such as figs, dates, baby prunes.
