[. . . ] **To check whether the waffles are ready, carefully open the unit during the cooking and close it again if it is not sufficiently cooking. WARNING: Don’t try to open the unit too soon (risk of cutting the waffles in half). **Remove the waffles with a knife, inserting it horizontally into the thickness of the waffles. Nd rd **Grease again but more lightly for the 2 and 3 batches (you probably won’t have to add more grease after that). WARNING: during cooking, the fact that the indicator light is on or off does not mean that the waffles are ready but simply relates to the thermostat’s regulation. RECIPES To begin, here is some advice on the ingredients to use, according to your preferences… **For soft waffles, use milk and cream. These waffles must be eaten as soon as they are removed from the mould. (Use 10g of yeast per 500g of flour – leave the batter to stand for 30 to 60 minutes). Using baker’s yeast gives better quality waffles but requires the batter to stand for around 2 hours. WARNING: when standing, batter made with baker’s yeast can expand to several times its initial volume… So make sure you use a big enough container!UPKEEP **Warning: make sure that the appliance is unplugged and has cooled down completely before cleaning it. **Never immerse the appliance in water and do not put it in the dishwasher. 59 ENG WAFFLES SWEET WAFFLES (For 10 to 15 waffles) WAFFLES LYONNAISE 500g of flour – 1 sachet of baking powder – ¾ L of liquid (water, beer or milk, its your choice! ) – a pinch of salt – 125g of butter – 30g of sugar – 2 sachets of vanilla sugar – vanilla essence , kirsch or rum – 3 or 4 eggs.
