Stuffler Waffles

My family got me a Stuffler waffle iron and we broke it out today to try and everyone LOVED it! Here is a link to buy your own (you can't make these waffles in an ordinary waffle iron, you need the deeper Stuffler) and the waffle batter recipe and ideas we used. Enjoy!

Basic Waffle Batter for Stuffler

4. Whisk milk mixture into dry ingredients just until dry ingredients are thoroughly moistened. 
5. Pour approximately 1/3 cup batter into Stuffler, coating bottom in a thin layer.

Marsha's Notes:

The recipe says to cook for 7-8 minutes, but six was perfect for us. Be careful not to overstuff your waffle so they don't ooze out during cooking. It is recommended when using a sauce to "sandwich" your sauce between other ingredients so it doesn't just disappear into the batter (such as pizza sauce; sandwich it between a cheese layer and a pepperoni/cheese layer). Also, I preferred most of the waffles with a little extra dipping/topping sauce. We also prefer non-cooked strawberries, so next time we will put our fresh strawberries on top and not put them INSIDE the waffle.

The Stuffler manual had two additional batter recipes that I wanted to record here, but I have not yet tried:

Cornmeal Waffles with Cheese and Chiles

Ingredients:

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 3/4 cup yellow cornmeal
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1/8 tsp salt
• 2 eggs, separated
• 2 cups buttermilk
• 2 Tbl vegetable oil
• 3 Tbl canned green chiles, drained
• 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

Directions:

1. Mix all dry ingredient together.
2. Stir in egg YOLKS, buttermilk, oil chilies and cheese.
3. Beat egg whites until stiff in another bowl using an electric mixer.
4. Fold whites into batter, leaving a few fluffs.
5. Cook waffles for 6-7 minutes.

Pecan Waffles

Ingredients:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 Tbl packed brown sugar
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/4 cup chopped pecans
• 2 cups buttermilk
• 2 eggs
• 3 Tbl vegetable oil
• 1/2 tsp maple extract

Directions:

1. Mix all dry ingredients together.
2. Stir in pecans.
3. Whisk buttermilk, eggs, oil, and maple extract together in a separate bowl.
4. Mix wet and dry mixtures together just until combined. Do not over mix.
5. Cook waffles for 6 minutes.

The Stuffler manual also recommends trying cake mixes and muffin mixes. 

Waffles we tried:

S'mores topped with Hot Fudge

Pepperoni Pizza

Ham, Cheese and Chick-fil-A Sauce

Strawberry, Nutella and Whipped Cream

Hawaiian Pizza

(Scott and Chris ate this one, so I only have the ingredients picture)

Ultimate Chocolate w/Peanut Butter

 (Lucas and William just wanted Hershey bar pieces, Nutella, and hot fudge... then they spread peanut butter on top when it was done)

Other Ideas Include: Chicken cordon bleu, chicken parmesan (with breaded chicken), chicken and waffles, trying to make them with chocolate batter, taco waffle, banana chocolate waffle, etc.
