Cooking tips for perfect waffles
Preheat your waffle iron according to manufacturer instructions for optimal results. Lightly grease it with cooking spray if needed before pouring an appropriate amount of batter onto the surface. Close the lid firmly but do not force it shut if there is excess batter spilling out from the sides during cooking time (usually three to five minutes depending on model used). Once done, remove carefully using tongs if necessary; serve hot, topped with fresh fruit slices, nuts, or yogurt drizzled over the top as desired!
