‘1-egg’ recipes make 2 mini chaffles. Purchase 2 mini waffle makers to cook both chaffles at the same time.
Avoid using commercial non-stick cooking sprays. They contain propellants that can damage the non-stick coating.
Use an oil mister, silicone brush or paper towel to spread a thin layer of avocado oil, coconut oil or butter on the grill plates.
Let the waffle maker fully heat up before you use it. Ingredients are less likely to stick if the waffle maker is hot.
Put something under the waffle makers to keep your counter clean. A plate, paper plate, wax paper or a silicone cooking mat work well.
For recipes that call for only a couple of ingredients, just mix with a fork. For more ingredients, use a blender, magic bullet or immersion stick.
Mixing the cheese into the batter results in softer chaffles.
Add cheese first, then batter, then more cheese before cooking for crispier chaffles.
Be careful not to overfill. Fill the bottom grill area until the posts are just slightly covered. Roughly 2 Tbsps or slightly less than 1/4 cup is the amount needed for each mini chaffles.
Cook your chaffles for 3-5 minutes, or until they stop steaming. If you like a uniform look, flip them when they are almost finished cooking.
Use Alexa, your oven or phone timer to set a timer. Prep other items while your chaffles cook.
