4-Slice Belgian Wafe
Maker on setting #5 or preferred setting* (Ready
light will illuminate when preheated).
Use the measuring cup to measure the batter
and pour into the preheated wafe grids. Use
a heatproof spatula to spread the batter evenly
over the grids. Close lid and rotate wafe maker
180˚ to the right. Bake the wafes until the Ready
light turns off and then on again. Rotate wafe
maker 180˚ to the left. Remove wafe and repeat
until all batter is used. For best results, do not
open wafe maker during cooking process.
Wafes may be kept warm in a low (200°F/95°C)
oven. Arrange wafes on a cookie sheet on
a rack in the warm oven. Serve with whipped
cream, fruit, jam, powdered sugar, or a warm
fruit syrup.
*We recommend using setting #5 to achieve
a golden-brown baked Belgian wafe. Adjust
the browning control if you prefer lighter or
darker wafes.

gingerbread, and are delicious served with fresh
fruit or caramelized apples and pears.

2¼ teaspoons (1 packet) active dry yeast
1½ cups all-purpose flour

bowl, combine the our, graham cracker crumbs,
¼ cup sugar, salt, ginger, and lemon zest; stir

melted cooled butter, and vanilla extract to the
yeast mixture. Stir until smooth. Add the dry
