The second attempt at waffles saw me switching to a different waffle mix, and increasing the waffle maker setting from '3' to '4'. I also started adding more of the waffle mix to the device, meaning we now got fully-formed waffles.
The upshot was that the outcome was vastly superior, though we're still not quite there yet. A few things still to adjust...
- The waffle mix was just the right quantity, or perhaps slightly more than was needed - at present, three of us eat waffles, while the mix made enough for four. But perhaps Surprise! will change his mind one day...
- I'm currently hovering between "not quite enough" and "slightly too much" waffle mix per waffle. I think the correct amount is about one and a third cups, but I haven't hit it yet.
- It's really quite important that the waffle mix be fairly loose and runny. Otherwise gravity doesn't get a chance to do its job before the heat cooks the waffles.
- This new recipe doesn't include any vanilla extract. I think I'll add that for my next attempt. Otherwise, I think this will be chosen mix. (Oh, and I'll use self-raising flour instead of plain flour and baking powder. Apparently, self-raising flour isn't really a thing in the US.)
But it's definitely getting there...
