TIPS FOR MAKING
PERFECT WAFFLES
We recommend setting #3 when using
commercial pancake/waffle mixes.
We recommend setting #3 for most homemade
(from scratch) waffle recipes.
If you prefer crisper, darker waffles, increase the
browning control. For lighter waffles, decrease
the browning control.
For evenly filled waffles, pour the batter into the
center of the lower grid and spread out evenly to
the edges. The entire lower grid should be filled.
For best results, we recommend using 3/4 cup
batter to fill the entire lower grid.
Waffles taste best when made to order, but
baked waffles may be kept warm in a 200° F
oven. Place 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 Cuisinart
® toaster or
toaster oven when ready to use.

RECIPES
BASIC BELGIAN WAFFLES
You can’t beat the taste of homemade waffles.
Freeze the extras to use when time is scarce.
Makes twelve 4-inch waffles
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2-1/4 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 sit 5 minutes before using. Preheat your
Cuisinart
® Belgian Waffle Maker on setting #4
* (green indicator light will be illuminated when
preheated).
Pour 3/4 cup batter onto preheated waffle maker
grid. Using a heat-proof plastic spatula, spread
batter until evenly distributed. Allow batter to
bubble for 5 - 10 seconds, then close cover of
waffle maker. Indicator light will turn red. When
light turns green again, waffle is ready. Open
cover and carefully remove baked waffle. Repeat
with remaining batter. For best results, serve
immediately. However, you may keep waffles
warm in a 200°F oven until ready to serve.
* We recommend using setting #3 to achieve a
golden brown baked waffle. Adjust the browning
control if you prefer lighter or darker waffles.
