Waffle Batter- 2/3 cup waffle mix
- 2/3 cup cold water
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, preheat your waffle maker. Turn it on and set it to medium heat (usually around level 3). Allowing the waffle maker to preheat properly is key to achieving a perfectly golden and crispy waffle.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, combine the waffle mix and cold water. The ratio is typically 1:1. Whisk or stir gently until just combined and no dry lumps remain. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the waffles tough.
Step 3
Once the waffle maker is hot, pour the batter onto the center of the bottom plate. Use just enough batter to fill the mold without overflowing. You can gently spread it slightly if needed to ensure even coverage.
Step 4
Close the waffle maker and cook according to the manufacturer’s instructions, usually until it signals completion with a beep or light indicator. Aim for a beautifully golden brown color.
Step 5
Carefully remove the hot waffle from the waffle maker. Be cautious of the steam. Place the waffle on a wire rack to cool completely. This step is crucial for achieving maximum crispiness. Once cooled, cut the waffle into easy-to-handle portions.
Step 6
While the waffle is cooling, take your vanilla ice cream out of the freezer. Let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes until it’s slightly softened, making it easier to scoop.
Step 7
Get your maple syrup ready. Having it within easy reach will make the final assembly quick and enjoyable.
Step 8
Now for the grand finale! Arrange the cut waffle pieces on a serving plate. Generously scoop 2-3 portions of the softened vanilla ice cream onto the waffle. Finally, drizzle a good amount of maple syrup over the ice cream and waffle. Your delicious homemade waffle ice cream is ready to be enjoyed!
