Cuisinart - WAF-100 - 4-Slice Belgian Waffle Maker/CSN STORES Review


CSN always impresses me by their fastest shipping. I ordered this waffle maker for review on Wednesday and I got my package next day! Unbelievable!!!



My retired waffle maker is round. Cuisinart WAF 100 4 Slice Belgian Waffle Maker is large, square, has 4 deep pockets give you 4 waffles at a time.

I prefer easy recipes in weekdays. But on weekends, I like to surprise my hubby and my son with a little different taste especially for Sunday brunch. I always make waffles with baking powder and even though I love baking and kitchen sometimes I buy frozen waffles..Oh yes, I do.. But today, to celebrate my new waffle maker I prepared real Belgian waffle batter (with yeast instead baking powder) and tested my recipe with the new waffle maker, before Sunday:) Result?

I'm so OK with the result... lighter(because of the yeast),
thicker, bigger- and not dry(because of Cusinart WAF 100 4-Slice Belgian Waffle Maker),
and more crispier(because of the egg whites).

Well, hello weekend!

recipe
For the best result, prepare the batter the night before or at least 3-4 hours before.

W a f f l e d o u g h
(makes 6 waffles)

-ingredients-

  8. Yummy! I miss having waffles for a long time now. I used to have hotdog waffle maker but it broke down so easily. This one looks pretty sturdy and makes wonderfully cooked waffles. You're lucky to have it for free!
