Servings: 8 small waffles
Ingredients
- 1 cup Aunt Jemima Mix also known as Pearl Milling Mix
- ¾ cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 3 tbsp melted butter or 2 tbsp oil for the original version
- Syrup optional, for serving
Instructions
Prepare the batter.
- Place the Aunt Jemima Mix, milk, egg, and melted butter in a medium mixing bowl. If preferred, use 2 tbsp oil in place of the melted butter.
Mix until smooth.
- Whisk the ingredients together until the batter is fully combined and mostly smooth. Avoid overmixing, as this may affect the final texture of the waffles.
Rest the batter.
- Allow the batter to rest for several minutes while the waffle iron preheats. This brief resting period helps the batter hydrate and improves the texture of the waffles.
Preheat the waffle iron.
- Heat the waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Lightly grease the plates if required by the appliance.
Add the batter.
- Pour an appropriate amount of batter into the center of the preheated waffle iron. Do not overfill, as the batter will spread during cooking.
Cook the waffles.
- Close the waffle iron and cook according to the manufacturer’s directions, or until the waffle is golden and fully cooked. Cooking time is typically about 3 minutes, depending on the waffle iron.
Remove carefully.
- Carefully remove the waffle using silicone tongs or a silicone spatula to avoid damaging the nonstick surface.
Serve.
- Serve the waffles warm with syrup, butter, fresh fruit, whipped cream, or other preferred toppings.
