Double Belgian Waffle
Maker on setting #4 or preferred setting*
(indicator light will be illuminated when
preheated).
For best results, do not open waffle maker
during cooking process. Doing so will offset the
timing mechanism.
When the waffle grids are preheated, open the
lid. Fill the provided batter cup to the top with
batter. If using a standard measuring cup, fill to
¾ cup. Use a heatproof spatula to spread the
batter evenly across the grids. Close lid and
rotate 180˚ to the right and bake in the hot waffle
maker until beeper sounds. Rotate waffle maker
180˚ to the left. Remove waffle and repeat with
remaining batter.
Waffles may be kept warm in a low (200°F) oven.
Place waffles arranged on a cookie sheet on a
rack in the warm oven. Serve with lemon curd,
fruit, jam, powdered sugar, a warm fruit syrup, or
whipped cream.
*We recommend using setting #4 to achieve
a golden-brown, baked Belgian waffle. Adjust
the browning control if you prefer lighter or
darker waffles.

Good-Night Waffles
Most of the mixing for these waffles is done the
night before. In the morning, just mix in the eggs,
vanilla extract and baking soda while the waffle
maker is heating. Leftover batter may be covered
and kept in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Heat
your waffle maker in the morning, stir the batter
and have a freshly baked waffle for breakfast.
