I am new to making waffles, I have an electric iron, can I just add sugar to the mix ?

I would suggest trying it out without the sugar first and seeing what you think of it. The problem is that the more sugar you add the more likely you are to burn the waffles on the iron.

I am not sure why you would want to do that but of course you could. It has everything in it except the liquids needed. Oil, milk and eggs. I add flax seeds and cinnamon to mine and sometimes bluberries.

Hi :-) I put a bit of olive oil - but when I forgot to, it still didn't burn the waffles (they lift right out of there without sticking).

It depends on how long you cook them. It took me a while to discover how much batter to put in the machine. Be sure your waffle maker is really hot before you start.

You can use either. Shouldn't matter. The waffle maker will do its job. But I always make mine from scratch

Yeast waffles are wonderful in this waffle maker. You do have to use a bit less batter. I can completely recommend Marion Cunningham's Raised Waffle recipe, which you can Google and find several places on the 'net, especially at Shauna Sever's ("Pure Vanilla" and "Marshmallow Madness" author) website. She has some nice tips for the waffles.

Use same setting. Just fill one square. Plan B is make two waffles and freeze one. Defrost and toast later. Almost as good as a freely cooked one

I rub some veg oil on before first waffle...that's it. The come out easily and perfect each time. Love the machine

Not necessarily, but you may have to add a slight coat of PAM spray to begin. It also goes back to how you prepare the Mix. In my experience I only use a slight portion of oil or PAM on my first waffle, I do use LOW fat milk and Low fat butter on my mix.

Yes. I would use the waffle recipe for your pancake mix if it has one, but you can still use pancake recipe if you like. When I have used pancake batter in waffle maker, the waffles don't come out as crisp but they are OK otherwise.

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?

Not a problem just make sure iron is very hot, then spray it with Crisco, or Spam oil.start with a piece of bread to check , then spray again before start to bake cookies.

u don't really need the stick to make the waffle, but hobby lobby or michaels or craft store have these big sticks for cake pop or similar treat making that u can use.

They can be. There is a gauge on it for heat. The higher the heat the crisper the waffle. You will have to adjust its few times to get it where you want it to be

No problem if u make sure iron is hot. I spray it with Pam and then cook a slice of bread prior to putting in batter.

i would think it turns out a more perfect waffle. I am very satisfied with it. May be it depends on the batter you use.

You can cook the waffle as long as you like. Takes some getting used to. Don't give up on the first few tries.

There should be two beeps - one for when the iron is pre-heated and ready for the batter, and another after the waffles are ready. If you are using a light setting, it might beep very soon (within seconds) after you pour the batter in. This is when you should remove the waffles. I mistakenly thought it was the indicator that the iron was back to temperature after I opened it quickly to pour the batter in, but in fact, they were done that quickly. Are you failing to get a beep even using different settings (light/medium/dark)? If you aren't getting the pre-heat beep followed by a second beep, I would return the iron and/or call the manufacturer. Good luck!
