RECIPES
BASIC WAFFLES
Fresh, homemade waffles make breakfast a
special occasion. Freeze the extras to use
when time is scarce.
Makes 8 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
® Waffle Iron on setting #3.
When preheated, green indicator light will
illuminate. Pour 1/3 cup batter onto the center
of the lower grid; spread batter using a heat-
proof spatula to within 1/2 inch of the edge
of the grid. Close lid of waffle iron – green
indicator light will turn off. When green indicator
light turns on again, waffle is ready. Open lid
and carefully remove baked waffle. Repeat
with remaining batter. For best results, serve
immediately.
