Cuisinart WAF-F20P1 Recipe - Page 3

While the waffle maker is heating, stir the eggs, vanilla extract and baking soda into the batter. When the waffle grids are preheated, open the lid. Fill the provided batter cup to the top with batter. If using a standard measuring cup, fill to ¾ cup. Pour into waffle grids. Use a heatproof spatula to spread the batter evenly over the grids. Close cover and rotate 180˚ to the right. Bake in the hot waffle maker until beeper sounds. Rotate 180˚ to the left. Remove waffle and repeat with remaining batter. Waffles may be kept warm in a low (200°F) oven. Place waffles arranged on a cookie sheet on a rack in the oven. Serve with sliced fresh fruit, jam, powdered sugar, a warm fruit syrup, or whipped cream. *We recommend using setting #4 to achieve a golden-brown, baked Belgian waffle. Adjust the browning control if you prefer lighter or darker waffles.
