Ingredients
Pancakes are a timeless breakfast food, and this Krusteaz pancake mix waffle recipe makes making them simple. Perfect for an easy weekday breakfast or weekend brunch gatherings with guests over, these crispy yet fluffy pancakes can be served with maple syrup or fresh fruit toppings to complete their flavor profile.
To create these pancake-turned-waffles, mix pancake mix with cold water, an egg, and vegetable oil before whisking the mixture until all lumps have dissipated and pouring onto your waffle iron. Make sure your waffle iron has been preheated beforehand, and bake the batter for two to three minutes until firm.
To add extra zest to this breakfast treat, experiment with different spices such as cinnamon or other varieties such as pumpkin pie spice, nutmeg and cardamom in the batter. Each spice will create its own distinctive taste that will wow guests when dining on waffles!
Variations
No matter your taste or mood, Krusteaz pancake mix waffles offer endless ways to satisfy it. Enjoy classic stacks with butter and syrup or try something sweet like chocolate chip-stuffed waffles or peanut butter & jelly sandwiches for something sweet. Additionally, turn a waffle into an ice cream sundae by topping with your preferred flavor and crushed cookies or candies – or turn any day of the week into pancake day!
Give this waffle recipe an irresistibly savory flair by adding cheeses, bacon and scallions to the batter. Preheat and lightly grease a Belgian waffle iron before pouring the mixture in, cooking until steaming has stopped and golden brown hue has appeared on both sides. Serve your creation alongside sunny side up eggs for a tasty breakfast; use as taco shell or bread during lunch time or top off with honey or caramel sauce drizzles as an additional sweet finish!
Preparation
To create waffles, combine pancake mix with cold water, an egg and vegetable oil. Whisk until the batter is evenly mixed – lumps are fine! Some people also opt to swap out some of the water with milk to give their waffles a richer flavor and tender crumb; to do this simply increase liquid and decrease leavening agents (baking powder or soda).
Once the batter is prepared, carefully pour it into a preheated waffle iron and spread evenly for even cooking. Close and cook the waffle maker until its exterior becomes golden-brown and crispy.
Serve up classic stack of waffles topped with butter and maple syrup for breakfast, or use them as bread for savory dishes such as cheese omelets at lunch or dinner. Top them with fresh berries, chocolate sauce or whipped cream for an elegant dessert option.
Cooking
Krusteaz pancake and waffle mixes usually include flour, leavening agents (such as baking powder), sugar and salt – though specific package details will provide more accurate ingredient lists.
As your waffle iron heats, whisk together pancake mix, cold water, egg and vegetable oil in a large bowl until combined into a smooth batter; any lumps are perfectly acceptable!
If you prefer more decadent waffles, try switching out water for milk or buttermilk – both will impart richer flavors while providing additional fat to make fluffier waffles!
Once your waffles are cooked, serve them right away with maple syrup and fresh fruit or whipped cream as garnish. You may also keep the waffles warm by placing the iron into an preheated oven; just don’t open it too early in order to “check on them”, as doing so can disrupt their baking process and risk crumbling them all at once!
