You can use Belgian Waffle Mix in a regular waffle maker but you must adjust the ingredients as the Belgian waffles are larger and need more space to rise properly.
It's best to use a waffle iron designed for Belgian waffles to cook them properly.
Some ingredients you can add to waffle mix to make it better are.
Bacon!
A handful of blueberries or other small or sliced berries.
Miniature chocolate chips.
Miniature cinnamon chips.
Peanut butter (about 1/4 cup peanut butter for every cup of flour).
1/2 cup cocoa with 1/3 cup sugar.
1 cup crushed pineapples (drained well); top finished waffles with whipped cream and coconut flakes.
You can turn waffle mix into pancake mix.
The waffle mix contains all the basic necessary ingredients needed for making pancakes.
All you have to do to use waffle mix for pancake mix is to prepare the batter by adjusting a few ingredients and then cooking it in a pan instead of a waffle iron.
Just make sure that you aren't adding extra fat or sugar content due to the fact that you're using waffle mix.
When all is said and done, you should be able to make pancakes that turn out normally.
The pancakes should be light, fluffy, light brown, and a little bit spongy.
The difference between pancake batter and waffle batter is that waffle batter contains more sugar, eggs and butter than pancake batter.
This makes waffle batter richer with higher fat content than pancake batter and pancake batter contains more milk than waffle batter.
Pancake batter goes black as a result of oxygenation which is harmless.
Pancake batter will keep for 3 days, refrigerated.
Little black dots may form on the batter's surface on days 2 and 3 — they're a harmless result of oxygenation.
Just stir to combine. Add mix-ins such as nuts, fresh or dried fruit, or chocolate chips to the batter just before cooking.
And too much oil in the pan is the culprit behind pancakes that are splotchy brown rather than evenly golden from edge to edge.
People who've made pancakes have all experienced the annoying phenomenon of having the first batch of pancakes turn out splotched with brown spots, while subsequent batches come out evenly golden.
The signs that pancake batter has gone bad are.
There's mold or wet clumps in the package. That's a sure sign moisture got it.
It smells moldy or off in any other way.
The package has holes or there are some dead or alive pantry pests in the mix.
You stored an open mix unsealed for months.
Standard pancake batter (made from flour, milk and eggs) should last for between two to four days when stored in the refrigerator, depending on the expiry date listed on your milk and eggs.
