What else can you make with a waffle iron/maker besides waffles?

Question

Any ideas or recipes?

Answer 1

Like the Queen, I use mine for corn bread, especially in the summer months to avoid heating up the house with the oven.

I also use it to make my quickie version of hoe-cakes (a kind of biscuit). Just add milk to self rising flour so that the batter is the same viscosity as waffle batter. If you don't have self-rising flour just add 2 teaspoons baking powder for each cup of all purpose flour. I also use these "biscuits" for open face sandwiches.

When the kids were little we made "sneaker sole, egg toast". Add about 1 tablespoon flour per egg, a light sprinkle of cinnamon and whisk well together. Serve w/ hot syrup as you would French Toast.

I've also cooked hash brown potatoes and fried eggs and patty sausage in a waffle iron - our old stove did an "Ole Sparkie" routine one morning and I was hungry for something other than Cheerios (My waffle iron doesn't have the reversible plates). It worked pretty well.

Answer 2

Homemade waffles are a delicious, satisfying way to start the school day. They can be simple to make, too, using store-bought cake or muffin mix.
Corn, bran and blueberry muffin mixes are not as sweet as cake mixes. Waffles made from muffin mixes will be a cross between coffee cake and the cap of a muffin--the crusty lid that's so desirable, cookware stores now sell shallow muffin tins for tops-only muffins.

To turn the muffin mix into a waffle mix, follow the package directions but add an extra 1/3 to 1/2 cup of milk or water. The batter should flow slowly, like a thick pancake batter.

For a 16-ounce box of muffin mix, add an extra 1/2 cup of liquid; for a 12- to 14-ounce box, add an extra 1/3 cup; and for a 20-ounce box, add just under 3/4 cup.

You may have to add more liquid if there are nuts, blueberries or diced apples in the mix. Add an egg and oil if the package instructions give you the option for waffles that are crisp, golden and easy to remove from the iron.

Answer 3

RE: Can I make waffles without waffle iron maker? I want to make waffles without using the iron maker. I do have an iron maker but it is gross and dirty. But I wanted to know if there is a way to make waffles without resorting to my waffle iron maker.

Answer 4

You can make really crispy corn bread! My eats it like this all the time with milk.

You might need to make the batter a bit thinner.

Answer 5

I bet you can make waffle cones....sorry have no recipes though.
