Enough sugar and a thick waffle batter is what makes waffles crispy as the cooked sugar helps the waffles get crispy and stay crispy.
Waffle batter should be thick to allow the waffles to cook enough on the outside and so that the waffles also get crispy and golden brown but not overdone in the center.
Thick waffle batter is key to making waffles with crispy edges and fluffy soft insides.
Waffles taste different than pancakes as waffle mix has more butter in sugar than pancake mix does so the waffles become more caramelized while cooking so they savor a bit richer.
Pancakes are softer and easier to eat than waffles.
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.
