STORAGE
Store with cord wrapped securely around
the bottom of the waffle maker. For compact
storage, stand the waffle maker upright in
the locked position on its bottom base.
TIPS TO MAKE
PERFECT WAFFLES
• Our buttermilk waffles are a blank
canvas to work in your favorite flavors.
Kids will love a spin on a "birthday cake"
by adding rainbow sprinkles. Dehydrated
or fresh fruit is nice for a healthier mix-
in item. For the chocolate lovers out
there, chopped chocolate or miniature
chocolate chips add a delicious note to
just about any sweet waffle base. For all
mix-ins we recommend using about ½
cup and suggest to first toss in a little
flour before folding into the prepared
waffle batter.
• Setting #1 will produce the lightest
waffles. Setting #5 will produce the
darkest waffles. Experiment to determine
which setting produces the best waffle
color for you. We recommend setting #4
or #5 for golden brown waffles.
• We suggest using the provided batter
cup when measuring and pouring batter
into the waffle maker.
- For Classic waffle: fill batter up to
the line on the side of the cup
- For Belgium waffle: fill batter up to
the top.
• For a fun variation, use waffles as the
“bread” for your panini (we recommend
a plain variety, such as our Light-as-Air
Buttermilk Waffles, page 8). Place one
cooked waffle back in the preheated
waffle maker and top with any sandwich
ingredients. Top with another cooked
waffle and close waffle maker to press
your sandwich until heated through.
• For evenly filled waffles, pour the batter
onto the center of the lower grid and
spread it out evenly to the edges with a
heatproof spatula. The entire lower grid
should be filled.
• Waffles are best when made to order,
but baked waffles may be kept warm
in a 200°F oven. Place them on a baking
pan, or on an oven-safe rack set in the
baking pan, and be sure not to stack or
overlap the waffles. Stacking or covering
will create condensation and cause the
waffles to get soggy.
* Any leftover waffles can be wrapped
and frozen for future use. To freeze
waffles: Allow them to cool completely.
Use waxed paper to keep them separate
and place them in a plastic food storage
bag. To reheat frozen waffles: Use a
toaster or toaster oven.

Overnight Rye
Blueberry Waffles
Rye flour adds unexpected complexity
to these yeasted waffles.
Makes about 8 classic-style waffles
or 4 Belgian-style waffles
8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter,
cubed
1½ cups whole milk, cold
1 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
1 cup dark rye flour*
1½ teaspoons instant yeast
2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
¾ teaspoon kosher salt
¼ teaspoon ground cardamom (optional)
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon baking soda
1½ cups blueberries, washed and picked
over to remove stems, plus more for
serving (optional)
Maple syrup, for serving
1. Melt the butter in a small saucepan set over
medium-low heat. When the butter is fully
melted, whisk in the cold milk. Let mixture
cool slightly until just warm.
2. Whisk the dry ingredients together in a large
bowl. Gradually add the warm milk-butter
mixture, and whisk until smooth. Add the
eggs and vanilla, and whisk until mostly
smooth (some lumps are okay). Let the
batter rest at room temperature for 1 hour,
then cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate
at least 12 hours and up to 24 hours.
3. Secure the desired waffle plates in the
waffle maker. Preheat the waffle maker
to the desired setting; a higher setting is
recommended for crisp waffles. The waffle
maker will beep to indicate it is ready
to use.
4. Sprinkle the baking soda over the rested
batter and gently whisk to combine
(the batter will deflate as it rests). Pour the
recommended amount of batter, depending
on whether Belgian- or classic-style waffles
are being prepared, onto the center of
the bottom waffle plate. Top with a heaping
¼ to
1
/
3
cup of blueberries. Close the waffle
maker, but do not lock. The waffle is done
when the ready-for-use indicator beeps.
Carefully open the waffle maker and remove
the baked waffle. Repeat with the remaining
batter and blueberries.
5. Waffles are best served straight from
the waffle maker, with maple syrup and
more blueberries, if desired. (If not being
consumed immediately, they can be
kept warm on a rack in a single layer
in a 200°F oven.)
* Deepen the nutty complexity of rye by
toasting the flour in a skillet over medium
heat for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring often,
until fragrant and darkened in color –
an optional step.

cheese. Sprinkle with ground chipotle
and cilantro. Serve immediately.
* Masa harina is a finely ground flour made
from dried corn soaked in lime water and is
traditionally used for making corn tortillas.

Chicken and Waffles
This is a Southern staple that you can easily
make at home. The chicken is best when
marinated overnight, but if you are in a hurry,
you can marinate it for a minimum of 3 hours.
Makes 8 servings
2 cups low-fat buttermilk
1 tablespoon hot sauce
1 tablespoon Dijon-style mustard
1½ teaspoons kosher salt, divided
1½ teaspoons freshly ground black
15
pepper, divided
8 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
(about 1½ pounds), pounded thin
2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1½ teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon paprika
Oil for frying (such as vegetable,
canola, or peanut)
4 prepared Jalapeño Popper Waffles
(page 13), kept warm
Maple syrup, for serving
1. In a medium nonreactive bowl, stir together
the buttermilk, hot sauce, mustard,
1 teaspoon of the salt, and 1 teaspoon
of the pepper. Add the chicken and coat
well. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours,
preferably overnight.
2. In a shallow mixing bowl, combine the flour,
baking powder, paprika, and remaining salt
and pepper.
3. Preheat a Cuisinart
®
Deep Fryer to 375°F.*
While the oil is heating, line a baking sheet
with paper towels and insert a cooling rack
inside the pan; reserve.
4. While the oil is heating, remove the chicken
from the buttermilk mixture, and lightly coat
each chicken piece evenly with the flour
mixture, tapping away any excess.
5. Fry the chicken in batches, about 3 minutes
per side. The internal temperature of the
chicken should register 170°F. Transfer to
the prepared cooling rack.
6. To serve, quarter each waffle and serve 2
quarters with one piece of fried chicken and
maple syrup on the side.
* If you do not have a deep fryer, the chicken
can easily be fried on the stovetop. In a
large sauté pan, add about 1 inch of oil
and set the pan over medium-high heat.
With a deep-fat thermometer clipped to the
side of the pan, heat the oil to 375°F. Fry
the chicken in batches, about 2 pieces at a
time. Don’t crowd the pot, or the oil will cool
down too much and not fry well. Fry, flipping
once, until the chicken is nicely browned,
about 4 minutes per batch. The chicken
should have an internal temperature of
170°F. Transfer the chicken to the prepared
cooling rack.

Belgian Cinnamon
Roll Waffles
Use the Belgian waffle plates to turn store-
bought puff pastry into irresistibly sweet
and flaky cinnamon rolls. They’re so easy
to make that you can enjoy them any time!
Makes 2 Belgian waffles, 8 individual “rolls”
½ cup packed dark brown sugar
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
Pinch kosher salt
1 package (17.3 ounces/2 sheets)
frozen puff pastry, thawed overnight
in the refrigerator
All-purpose flour, as needed
4 tablespoons (½ stick) unsalted butter,
softened
Water, for brushing
Simple Icing
Makes about ¾ cup
1 cup confectioners' sugar, sifted
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
2 tablespoons whole milk
1. In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar,
cinnamon, and salt.
2. Unfold one sheet of the puff pastry onto a
lightly floured surface and dust the top with
flour. Use a rolling pin to roll out the sheet
to a 10-by-12-inch rectangle. Spread the
dough with 2 tablespoons of the softened
butter, leaving a ½-inch border at the top
edge. Sprinkle half of the cinnamon-sugar
mixture evenly over the top and gently press
to adhere. Brush the border with water.
3. Use a pastry wheel to cut the sheet into 8
equal strips. Tightly roll one strip away from
you and pinch the end to seal. Place the
roll on top of another strip, and tightly roll
away from you, again pinching an end to
seal. Continue to build on the first roll with
the remaining strips until you have a large
cinnamon roll. Place between two sheets of
16
parchment or waxed paper and gently press
or roll into a 6-inch circle, being careful
to keep the spiral shape. Repeat with the
second puff pastry sheet and remaining
ingredients. Place the rolls in the refrigerator
to chill for 15 minutes.
4. Secure the Belgian waffle plates in the
waffle maker. Preheat the waffle maker on
Setting 5. The waffle maker will beep to
indicate it is ready to use. While the waffle
maker preheats, in a small bowl, whisk
together the ingredients for the icing until
smooth.
5. Place the first roll onto the bottom waffle
plate. Press firmly to close the waffle maker
but do not attempt to lock. Cook the waffle
until deep golden brown, 6 to 8 minutes.
When ready, carefully remove the baked
waffle. Repeat with the remaining roll.
6. Drizzle icing over each waffle. Use a sharp
knife to cut the waffles into quarters to
create 8 individual “rolls.” Serve warm.
