2. Appliance with indicator lights (type 12
and type 17)
·
Shortly after having filled in the batter the green
control lamp goes out. The red control lamp
lights up.
·
After termination of the baking process the red
control lamp goes out, and the green one lights
up again.
·
The waffle is ready.
·
Remove the waffles from the appliance as soon
as they are done baking. Use a wooden fork.
·
Place the waffles next to each other on a baking
grill to cool.
·
If you want to make more waffles, re-fill with
fresh batter immediately.
Cleaning
·
Always remove the power plug before cleaning.
·
Use a paper towel to clean the appliance while
still warm.
·
Tip: Place two absorbent paper towels between
the baking surfaces and close the appliance.
·
Afterwards, wipe the waffle maker with a damp
cloth, but never under running water.
·
Do not use caustic cleaning agents.
Seven Rules
1. The batter comes off at best when you make
sure to have all ingredients at the same
temperature.
2. Use melted butter that is lukewarm.
3. Please use only high-quality flour and only
the stated quantity of baking powder. Mix
well and put gradually under the batter.
4. Separate the eggs. Beat the egg white until
stiff and put it aside. Put the egg yolk as
described in the receipt under the batter.
Save the egg white until last and just fold in
the batter.
5. For crispy waffles use lukewarm water
instead of milk. For soft waffles use mineral
water instead. Baking with milk leads to
softer but darker waffles.
6. Let the batter rest at least one hour before
baking.
7. The batter should be thick but drip well from
spoon.
Tips
Certain batter consistencies (e.g. batter contai-
ning too many nuts, fruits, fruit acids, etc.) can
hinder the effectiveness of the non-stick coa-
ting. In that case, reduce the amount of such
ingredients.
If a waffle does not turn out right, there may be
many reasons for this. The following section pro-
vides some tips for successful baking of waffles.
·
Use only shortenings that are suitable for bak-
ing.
·
Fill the baking form completely with batter. A
small ladle is ideal.
·
If you do not intend to serve the waffles right
away, place them next to each other on a baking
grill to cool. If you stack warm waffles, they will
become soft.
·
Soft waffles do not keep well, unless they are
frozen.
·
Frozen waffles can be thawed out in the toaster
and taste like fresh waffles.
·
Excessive sugar will cause waffles to be darker.
·
The amount of shortening indicated in the re-
cipes can be reduced for waffle makers with a
non-stick coating. However, if batter with a very
low fat content is used, the waffles may stick to
the top or bottom when the appliance is ope-
ned. In this case, lightly grease the baking sur-
faces.
·
You can refine your waffles with various in-
gredients. Try a pinch of salt, ground cloves,
chopped or grated nuts or almonds, raisins, fine
chunks of apple, cinnamon, cardamom, anise,
powdered ginger, coriander, grated lemon rind
or lemon juice. A dash of liqueur will spice up
any waffle. Rum, amaretto or kirsch are especial-
ly suitable.
·
Serve waffles with powdered sugar or sugar and
cinnamon. A popular topping is strawberries
with whipped cream or hot sour cherries.
·
With the Cloer waffle maker, you can make soft
waffles resembling cake or crispy waffles from
the same batter. For crispy, biscuit-like waffles:
bake the waffles until the control lamp goes
out the second time. The increased baking time
will result in crispy waffles. Crispy waffles taste
best when served fresh; they can be stored for a
limited time in a closed container. For especial-
ly crispy waffles, you should choose a suitable
batter.
