TIPS TO MAKE PERFECT WAFFLES • Setting #1 will produce the lightest color waffles. Setting #5 will produce the darkest color waffles. Experiment to determine which setting produces the best waffle color for you. • For evenly filled waffles, pour the batter onto the center of the lower grid and spread out evenly to the edges. The entire lower grid should be filled. • We recommend using 2 cups of batter to fill the lower grid. NOTE: For thinner batters, both boxed and homemade, we recommend using a scant 2 cups of batter and spreading it evenly among the four waffle grids. • Waffles are best when made to order, but baked waffles may be kept warm in a 200°F oven. Place them in a baking pan or wrap in foil while in the oven. Waffles wrapped in foil may lose their crispiness. • 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 eat. SUGGESTED TOPPINGS Fruit syrups, warm fruit compote, fresh berries, chopped fruit, yogurt, chopped nuts, powdered sugar, whipped cream, ice cream or chocolate sauce.

If a recipe produces a range of servings, information is based on the highest serving yield for that particular recipe. Waffle Mix Having a batch of this mix at the ready will allow you to make one batch of four waffles at a time. Just prepare as much or as little as you need. Our version is much healthier than purchased mixes. Makes about 7 cups of mix, enough to make 16 waffles 5 cups unbleached, all-purpose flour 1 cup wheat germ 1 cup buttermilk powder* 3 tablespoons granulated sugar 3 tablespoons baking powder 2¼ teaspoons kosher salt 1½ teaspoons baking soda ¾ teaspoon cream of tartar 1. Using a whisk, combine all ingredients thoroughly in a large mixing bowl. 2. Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place for up to 6 months. You can store in the refrigerator for ultimate freshness. *Buttermilk powder is available in most grocery stores. If you cannot find it, substituting nonfat dry milk is acceptable, but the results will not be as moist. 6
