I realized after I put up the waffle recipe that some of you may not know how easy it really is to make them yourself. I've had a waffle iron for years, and just recently figured out how to make waffles without destroying them (or myself!).
Before you plug in your waffle iron, use some non-stick spray or wipe it with a paper towel lightly coated with oil. Make sure that it's just a light coating, because too much could alter the taste of your waffle.
Make sure that the waffle iron is HOT. My iron's light goes off whenever it's heated all the way. This is when you want to add the batter.
How much batter to add?
That all depends on your waffle iron. Start with 1/4 c of batter and work your way up until you find the magic number.
Some waffle irons have signals to tell you when your waffle is done. If I would listen to mine, like I have in the past, I would have nothing but burnt or almost burnt waffles.
A waffle is done when there is little to no steam escaping from the sides of your waffle iron, and the waffle is lightly browned.
If you have leftovers, let them cool, throw them in a freezer bag, and save them for another morning when you don't feel like cooking!
