Notes
Tips & Tricks
Always make sure your waffle maker is fully preheated before adding in the batter. If the waffle iron isn't brought up to temperature, your waffles could be compromised, leaving you with a less than perfect breakfast.
Don't be tempted to over fill your waffle griddle; the waffle batter will spread out once the lid is closed and the waffle also expands while cooking, creating a light and airy waffle.
Don't open the lid of your waffle maker before its finished cooking. As peeking may result in you having to change the waffle cooking time (opening the lid lowers the temperature) or even worse, you could end up with broken waffles.
