Crispy on the outside, soft and sweet inside…this perfect waffle recipe will take your tastebuds on an unforgettable journey!
Preheating your waffle iron according to its instructions is vital in creating uniform waffles. Opening it often and checking progress only interrupts this crucial stage in baking!
Ingredients
Krusteaz pancake and waffle mixes make an ideal addition to your breakfast repertoire, being easily made at home using just three simple ingredients. Their light texture and delightful taste makes them the ideal complement to maple syrup or fresh fruit; or for something different try topping your pancake or waffle off with some whipped cream and fresh fruit, creating an eye-catching waffle sandwich!
To create this recipe, all that’s required is mix, cold water, egg and vegetable oil. The egg provides structure to the batter while cold water and oil help form crisp waffles with an elegant crust.
Add chocolate chips or chopped nuts for an extra chocolaty and crunchy treat! This recipe can easily be doubled or tripled to accommodate large family gatherings; any extra waffles can even be frozen for future reheating purposes! For optimal results, ensure the batter reaches the right temperature before mixing; doing this ensures a crispy waffle!
Preparation
If you own a Belgian waffle maker, this recipe is ideal. Quick and easy waffle production produces thick and fluffy waffles with crispy edges – ideal for topping with syrup, fruit and Nutella!
Start by preheating your waffle iron, lightly greasing its plates with cooking spray or melted butter (if needed) and applying another thin coat between each batch of waffles you are making.
Whisk the pancake mix, cold water, egg and vegetable oil together in a medium mixing bowl. You don’t have to create an ultra smooth batter – some lumps are perfectly acceptable.
Pour your waffle batter onto a preheated waffle iron and spread it gently for even coverage. Close and cook until steaming has stopped and golden-brown waffles appear – enjoying! Alternatively, you could bake them in an oven to crispy them up – however this requires longer baking times and may alter their final texture.
Cooking
While your waffle iron heats, combine pancake mix, cold water, egg and vegetable oil (if applicable) using a wire whisk. Be careful not to over-mix; lumpy batter helps produce distinctive crispy edges of waffles!
Vegetable oil helps prevent waffles from sticking to their iron and adds an extra crispiness layer; alternatively, butter may also be used instead.
Once your waffles are finished, remove them from the waffle iron and let them cool before checking them again – being too curious will cause their crispiness to diminish over time! Alternatively, keep warm your waffles in a toaster oven until ready for service – they should turn out deliciously! Enjoy your tasty creation!
Serve
Krusteaz pancake mix waffles open up endless possibilities when it comes to breakfast or lunch! Be it classic butter and syrup or heartier toppings such as chilies for an unforgettable taste, the options for customizing these delightful waffles are limitless!
To create the ideal waffles, begin by preheating your waffle iron before pouring the batter on. Lightly grease the iron using cooking spray, or try adding vegetable oil for even crispier results. Test if your iron is hot enough by dropping several drops of water onto it – if it sizzles and evaporates immediately then your iron should be fine!
Waffles can also be baked and then frozen for later, or simply quickly reheated in the toaster for quick morning meals on the go. Waffles pair nicely with cheese, bacon and avocado slices as savory toppings or used as the foundation of sandwiches featuring fried chicken or other roasted vegetables. At higher altitudes you may need to alter your batter ingredients by increasing liquid slightly while decreasing leavening agents such as baking powder or soda.
