Whisk the pancake mix, cold water and vegetable oil in a large bowl until a lumpy batter forms – this should take approximately 10 minutes.
Ingredients
Crispy on the outside, warm and sweet on the inside – this Krusteaz pancake mix waffle recipe will delight. Pair it with fresh fruit, whipped cream or drizzle of syrup for an irresistible breakfast treat, or make it into an irresistible brunch entree with meats and cheese for even more indulgent breakfast treat options!
For optimal waffle results, it is important to preheat your iron before pouring batter on it. Otherwise, pale and soft waffles could result. To achieve a crispy texture use vegetable or coconut oil in place of butter as this prevents them from sticking to the griddle and allows them to become crispier faster.
Change it up by using milk instead of water for added flavor and richer textures. At higher altitude, increase liquid while decreasing leavening agent. To keep waffles warm for optimal results, place them in an oven preheated to 200-250 degrees Fahrenheit.
Preparation
To create this recipe, combine Krusteaz pancake mix with cold water, an egg and vegetable oil. The egg helps bind and create fluffy texture while oil prevents sticking to your waffle iron. Pour the waffle batter onto your preheated waffle maker and bake until both sides of waffle are golden-brown and crisp.
Before using your waffle iron, it is crucial that you preheat and lightly grease its plates using cooking spray or butter. This ensures that batter will spread evenly and cook completely while also helping waffles release more easily from their plates.
Once your waffles are cooked, add your desired toppings. Maple syrup or fresh berries make for an enticing breakfast or brunch, while for something sweeter why not drizzle melted Nutella or chocolate instead? Or serve your waffles topped with dollop of whipped cream or powdered sugar? For groups making waffles at once consider keeping them warm in an oven or crockpot!
Cooking
Just a few ingredients can transform ordinary pancake mix into delectable waffles! While pancake batter does not need binding agents to remain firm on an iron, waffle batter does require eggs and oil as binding agents in order to keep its structure firm on an iron.
First, preheat your waffle iron according to its instructions, and lightly grease its plates using cooking spray or melted butter – this ensures your waffles come off smoothly without sticking!
Whisking pancake mix, cold water, egg and vegetable oil together in a large bowl should result in an irregular mixture that has lumps; this is normal. Use a wire whisk for mixing to avoid overmixing. Once all ingredients have been evenly blended together, pour 1/3 cup of batter onto your preheated waffle iron and cook it for two to three minutes, until golden brown – repeat until all batter has been used up and top your waffle with maple syrup, fresh berries or whipped cream as desired!
Storage
If you make a large batch of waffles at once, some might be worth saving for later. They store well in the freezer and reheat quickly when necessary in a toaster. Simply store frozen waffles in an airtight container before placing it into your freezer to stay fresh for months to come!
Try this delicious pancake mix waffle recipe for a satisfying brunch or breakfast treat. Simply top your stack off with fruit and whipped cream for an eye-catching presentation, use them as taco shells to build sandwiches or turn them into works of art by building log cabins or sculptures!
Heat and lightly grease a Belgian or conventional waffle iron before whisking the mix, water, egg(s), and oil together until smooth. Let stand 2 minutes, before pouring approximately two-thirds cup onto waffle iron to cook according to waffle iron instructions until steaming stops or until golden-brown in color. Top your waffles off with whipped cream and fresh fruit or crumbled cooked chorizo for an irresistibly delicious breakfast treat!
