Waffles. Waffles are a universal favorite, especially when they’re topped with sweet treats like maple syrup, butter, strawberries, blueberries, and whipped cream. Sorry, there was a brief moment when I let the joy of this delicious breakfast food get the better of me.
Check the waffle’s color after five minutes of cooking it. Once you’ve assessed whether it’s brown enough and crisp enough, decide whether you want it lighter or darker. Darker will always be more crisp and lighter will be less crisp.
If the waffle isn’t cooked through enough, you risk having half of it stick to the cook plate and creating a huge mess that will be difficult to clean up.
Prepare your batter, and then set a timer for 5 minutes to begin. Close the lid. You’ll notice lots of steam rising from your waffle maker. That’s a good sign. That means the extra moisture is evaporating from the batter. More moisture evaporation will result in a crispier waffle.
Start over at 5 minutes if you think you need to cook it at a higher temperature so the moisture can evaporate more quickly and the baking will take less time. Increase the temperature a little and keep going in small steps until you get the outcome you want. Make notes and keep them nearby your waffle maker so that you can repeat the process and achieve the same results each time.
When the waffles are done cooking, take them out of the oven. The waffles should be hot and golden brown in color. Serve immediately.
Due to the time required to prepare them, hot, doughy waffles are typically reserved for Sunday brunch. But if you’re pressed for time and craving waffles, try the frozen variety. Today’s frozen waffles are available in a wide variety of designs and flavors, including Belgian, home-style, blueberry, flax, and whole-grain. Frozen waffles are a cinch to cook in the oven.
Consider eating your waffles with butter, maple syrup, and fresh fruit on top. Have eggs on the side for a well-balanced meal.
On a baking sheet, arrange the waffles in a single layer. Make sure there is room around each waffle so they can cook uniformly
Depending on the type of waffles you are using, bake the baking sheet in the oven for five to eight minutes. Belgian waffles, which are thicker than regular waffles, will require more time to prepare. The waffles don’t need to be turned while they’re cooking.
