Install the waffle plates.
Pour on the mixture, taking care to fill each plate without it overflowing.
Leave to cook for around 4 minutes according to the desired degree of
cooking.
Avoid opening the appliance during cooking. Place the waffles on a cooling
rack and wait for 1 minute before eating them: this makes them crunchier.
Cooks note: 1 American cup is equivalent to 237 ml or 8 fl oz. In the UK you
can use a breakfast cup.
