What is the best waffle batter to use with these type waffle makers? Has anyone found one that comes in premeasured cups?

I use golden malted complete mix... it isn't premixed. I also use the standard waffle recipe in BH&G cookbook, page 88. Regardless, I find that I DO need to spray or oil the waffle grates occasionally, starting with the first waffle, to get them to easily release, in spite of the instructions.

I started out with a mix, but after you make your own from scratch, there is no going back. It's tastes so much better and it's hardly any more trouble than making the mix.

I actually make my own batter which is not hard. I whip the egg whites separate and fold them in at the end for a light beautiful waffle. I dont know of any premeasured ingredients for this unless you use pancake batter in a carton.

You sir, have some batter issues. Most all waffle recipes contain the same basic ingredients. Flour (or pancake/waffle mix), sugar, salt, milk, eggs. The many varieties of waffles comes from the additives to the batter, or toppings added when served. Other than that, they are basically the same.So what makes some waffles bad, some good...and others great? Technique and a few little secrets. There are only a few tips you need to know. But, they will make a difference in your waffles.

I make my own batter. 1 cup of sour milk (or put 1 T of vinegar into a cup of milk & let it curdle), 1 egg, 2T melted butter - stir gently together. Separately, combine 1 cup flour, 1 tsp each baking powder and baking soda, 1T of sugar, pinch of salt and cinnamon and nutmeg to taste. Combine wet and dry ingredients gently. Voila. Waffle batter.

I worked in hotel kitchens for 10 years: I never once put anything on the waffle maker. You pour the batter in and then you take the waffle out when its done. You shouldn't need to spray or oil at all just put some butter in your batter and that will take care of it.

I am certainly not a waffle expert, but this seems to make waffles that are not as thick as Belgian, but not thin (like Scandanavian waffles); more like something in between. I use 2/3 cup of batter (as suggested in the included recipe booklet) and they are medium thickness. I imagine you could use less batter and make them thinner. They are NOT as thin as Eggo frozen waffles. Hope this helps.

You can use either, the waffle mix is probably a little thinner in consistency, so if you add a little more milk to the pancake batter it will work fine.the batter has to flow to all the well son the waffle iron to cook completely.

I am a chef and have tried many different recipes and I have found this one to be the best. It says to use milk or buttermilk, I chose buttermilk and they came out amazing. Good luck!My source for the recipe http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/40-a-day/waffle-of-insane-greatness-recipe/index.html

Read this little tidbit: http://verygoodfood.ca/2009/05/19/whats-the-difference-between-belgian-and-regular-waffle/After reading that, I'd say this is definitely an "American" waffle maker, but by making the proper recipe it should make great "Belgian" waffles. I found that when I was in Belgium I couldn't tell much difference in the size and shape but the texture was a bit different.

I haven't made just one, but I don't see why not. (who can only eat one waffle <g>) just pour the batter onto the one side. The setting should be the same. Let us know how it works out for you.

Yep, I understand. We love "George", but I never had any luck with waffles. I used every heat setting when making them. Used Pam and whatever else was available to make them slide out. I'd really like to watch someone who's had success with waffles to see what I'm doing wrong. How hard can it be?

I've never used a premix, but most regular pancake products have instructions for making waffle as opposed to pancake results like Aunt Jemima. I keep mine simple and use the same batter mix for both using Babycakes maker. I think it important, however, if you make crepes - then I would use a premix. I once used a Swedish product sold at Akia and it was awesome for crepes.

My does too, I am going to try another recipe. I did notice when I put them in a warm oven when I'm cooking the others, the waffles that are put in the oven first are better (drier in the middle). But they are supposed to be moist on the inside but not sure how much

Yes you can just make sure to add either a little more margarine or oil to your batter because if you do not the waffles will be extremely dry.

Yes. I use Log Cabin all Natural pancake mix...there are separate directions for waffle batter (1 more tbsp of oil) on the box.

It makes perfect waffles...not too thin or too thick. Use 1/3 cup batter. Thicker batter works best. Leftover waffles fit perfectly in toaster. Definitely is non-stick as it says. The standup for storage is great.

We have found that it depends a lot on the consistency of the batter. If it's a thicker batter, the waffles will be thicker. If the batter is thinner, so too will be the waffles. It makes wonderful waffles, no matter if they're thick or thin!

These will be a standard waffle maker as opposed to a thicker Belgian Waffle maker. The thickness of your waffle will also be determined by the amount of batter you use. Less batter will mean a thinner waffle and the opposite will be true as well.
