How to Prepare Perfect Krusteaz Waffles

Mixing the Batter

1. First, in a large bowl, whisk together the Krusteaz Waffle Mix and cold water until just blended. It’s okay if there are a few small lumps.
2. Next, add the egg and vegetable oil to the mixture. If using, add the vanilla extract at this point as well.
3. Then, whisk all ingredients together until well combined, but be careful not to overmix.

Cooking the Waffles

1. To begin, preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
2. Once heated, lightly spray both sides of the waffle iron with cooking spray.
3. Next, pour the appropriate amount of batter onto the center of the waffle iron. This usually ranges from 1/2 to 3/4 cup, depending on your waffle iron’s size.
4. Then, close the lid and cook until the waffle is golden brown and crispy. This typically takes 3-5 minutes, but may vary based on your waffle iron.
5. Finally, carefully remove the waffle and repeat the process with the remaining batter.

Expert Tips for Krusteaz Waffles

• Don’t overmix the batter. Lumps are okay and will result in fluffier waffles.
• For extra crispiness, let the waffles cook for an additional 30 seconds after the indicator light shows they’re done.
• Keep waffles warm in a 200°F oven while you cook the remaining batter.
• Experiment with add-ins like chocolate chips, blueberries, or chopped nuts for variety.
• For a savory twist, try adding herbs or grated cheese to the batter. This could pair well with our classic chicken and gravy recipe for a delicious chicken and waffles meal.
