Kitchen Tools for Stuffing Waffles If you’re a waffle purist, you’ll likely prefer a hinged waffle iron with an old-fashioned design that makes classic waffles. However, if you want to bring a bit more fun to your mornings, look for irons that make different shapes, such as bubble, silver dollar, or heart-shaped waffles. The recipe remains the same but the finished waffles are a lot flatter. Using your batter mixture from the recipe above simply pour into your griddle pan and wait until they crisp up and you can see the griddle marks. Flip them over after around six minutes and repeat for another six minutes. After they're finished cooking, cut them up into quarters and serve.

The ready light will make sure you don't add your waffle batter before it's time to cook, delivering a perfect sizzle. That edge channel is useful too. On some waffle makers you'll have to deal with waffle batter overflowing from the edge of the machine, but the channel will catch any excess and make it easy for you to remove while you serve up a perfectly round waffle.

While you can technically make any type of waffle in a classic waffle maker, the unique shape and texture of authentic Belgian waffles does require a different plate style. Therefore, connoisseurs tend to opt for a specialty Belgian waffle iron over a classic waffle maker.

You will need to peek at your waffle from time to time to see what is going on (but make sure you leave them alone for the first few minutes).

Much like pancakes, the basic ingredients for waffle mix couldn’t be more humble – flour, eggs and milk. But despite this, don’t expect to make perfect waffles on your first go. You will need to get to know your machine and perfect your batter mix before hosting a waffle party. However, once you have whipped up a few, you will feel like a pro.
