How To Do It!
In the Large Bowl, mix together all the dry mix ingredients, stir well. In the small bowl, mix together all of the wet ingredients, except for the oil, mix one 1/2 cup at a time into the dry ingredients, the mixture should be smooth and pourable, but not at all runny. Once mixed together, add in oil and stir just until the oil is combined.
TIP:
Don’t preheat the Waffle Iron until the batter s mixed, letting the batter sit a little will only make the waffles even better and that way, you can keep an eye on that iron so it doesn’t over heat 🙂 This tip also works for the pan if you are Making pancakes
For Waffles
Once the iron is preheated according to the manufactures instructions, Spray or Brush with the plates lightly, just so the waffle will get golden, and will not stick. Pour approximately 2/3 of a cup of batter in for most standard size waffle makes, or whatever amount is recommend by the instruction manual, for a very even waffle gently spread the batter almost to the edges using a wooden spoon. Cook Waffle according to the specification in your owner manual. Continue process until batter is used up.
For Pancakes
Add oil or butter to pan, once Butter (or margarine) is melter and bubbly, the pan is ready, and once Oil (or cooking spray that was sprayed into the pan) is slick when pan is swirled and it has a nice shine to it, the pan is ready. Using a 1/2 cup measurer, spacing pancakes one inch apart, pour batter into the pre heated greased pan. Cook the pancakes on the first side until there are bubbles forming over most of the top surface of the pancake, flip over using a spatula, and then cook about a minute on the second sit, or until cooked through, then remove from the skillet. Proceed to prepare the rest of the batter in the same way, until you are done
Enjoy! 🙂
