TIPS FOR MAKING PERFECT WAFFLES We recommend setting #3 for golden brown waffles. If you prefer crisper, darker waffles, increase the browning control to setting #4 or 5. For evenly filled waffles, pour the batter onto the center of the lower grid and close the cover. We recommend using 1/3 cup batter per waffle for evenly filled waffles. Waffles are best when made to order, but baked waffles may be kept warm in a 200°F oven. Place on a rack or in a baking pan or wrap in foil while in the oven. Waffles wrapped in foil may lose their crispness. Baked waffles may be frozen. Allow to cool completely, then place in plastic food storage bag. Use waxed paper to keep waffles separated. Reheat in a toaster or toaster oven when ready to use. SUGGESTED TOPPINGS Maple syrup, fruit syrups Warm fruit compote, fruit sauce Fresh berries, chopped fruit, chopped nuts Powdered sugar Whipped cream, ice cream, sorbet, frozen yogurt Chocolate sauce Fruited yogurt RECIPES BASIC WAFFLES Fresh, homemade waffles make breakfast a special occasion. Freeze the extras to use when time is scarce. Makes ten waffles 2 cups all-purpose flour 2 tablespoons granulated sugar 1 tablespoon baking powder 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 1/2 teaspoon salt 1-3/4 cups reduced fat milk 6 tablespoons vegetable oil 2 large eggs Place ingredients in a large mixing bowl and combine until well blended and smooth. Let batter rest 5 minutes before using. Preheat your Cuisinart® Heart-Shaped Waffle Maker on setting #3 (green indicator light will be illuminated when preheated). * Pour 1/3 cup batter onto the center of the lower grid; spread batter, using a heatproof spatula, to within 1/2 inch of the edge of the grid. Close lid of waffle maker - indicator light will turn red. When light turns green again, waffle is ready. Open lid and carefully remove baked waffle. Repeat with remaining batter. For best results, serve immediately. You may keep waffles warm until ready to serve in a 200°F oven. * We recommend using setting #3 to achieve a golden brown baked waffle. Adjust the browning control if you prefer lighter or darker waffles.
