Waffles Stick to The Waffle Iron: Here’s How to Prevent It

Waffles stick to the waffle iron: you can do that

Fresh waffles are perfect for a delicious Sunday breakfast. It is all the more annoying when they stick to the waffle iron. So that this doesn’t happen to you again in the future and that your next breakfast is a complete success, we’ll tell you what you can do about it.

  • Greasing: Brush the waffle iron with enough grease. Even if you own a non-stick waffle maker, you should do this. At the latest after repeated use, the waffles often stick despite the coating.
  • Preheat: Preheat the waffle maker before pouring it into the batter. Waffle irons often have a light that lights up green when the device has heated up sufficiently.
  • Use less batter: Make sure you only use as much batter as will fit in the waffle iron. If the batter overflows, the risk of the waffle sticking to the waffle iron increases.
  • Test waffle: The first waffle, in particular, is very likely to stick. This is due to many factors. For example, the waffle iron may not be fully heated or the fat may not have spread sufficiently.
  • Before making your first waffle, grease your waffle iron with extra fat. As a result, the waffle will be soaked with fat and will not taste excellent, but it will not stick and the waffle iron is ready for more waffles. Just think of the first waffle as a sample waffle.

Make waffles yourself: A simple recipe

So that you can sweeten your next weekend’s breakfast with waffles, we have selected a simple recipe for you.

  • Ingredients: 250 g flour, 80 g sugar, 130 g butter, 3 eggs, 200 ml oat milk, 1 teaspoon baking powder, some cinnamon, the pulp of a vanilla bean, zest of organic orange, and zest of an organic lemon.
  • Weigh the dry and wet baking ingredients separately. First, mix the wet ingredients together thoroughly, and then add the dry food. Mix it all together to form a homogeneous dough.
  • Put the batter in portions in the preheated waffle iron. Remember to grease the waffle iron thoroughly before making the first waffle. Grease the waffle iron a little after each waffle.
  • Serve the finished waffles with some vanilla sauce or applesauce, as you like. Enjoy the waffles while they are still hot. Enjoy your meal!
