Waffle makers that make audible beeps when they're ready to go earned extra points, while slow to heat and poorly labelled ones were penalised. Top it with soft salted butter that will melt as soon as it hits the surface and add some maple syrup. Can it get better than this?

Next, you’ll add the butter, garlic salt, and parmesan on top of the waffles and toast them in the oven for a few minutes until the cheese is nice and melty. Top your waffles with fresh parsley. Is your mouth watering yet? If you’re fine tuning your Thanksgiving menu, plan on making extra stuffing. Then turn those delicious stuffing leftovers into waffles! I’ve never tried this before, but I’m definitely putting it on my “to-do” list for next week. Get the recipe from Just A Taste.Welcome to my step-by-step guide (including pictures) on how to make waffles in a waffle maker. I will also include one of my favorite waffle recipes which is suitable for Classic, American style waffles. Waffles are perfect weekend for a weekend brunch but when I first got my waffle maker, lots of the recipes I could find online needed fancy ingredients like buttermilk (that’s fancy to us 😂 ) which was never going to happen in this house. Fold the dry ingredients into the potato mixture, then scoop ½ cup of batter onto the waffle maker at a time. Start with a hot waffle iron. Spread your pizza dough out on the iron and close the lid. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, then flip (if desired) and cook for another 2 minutes or so. Lift the lid, then add pizza sauce, cheese, and your toppings of choice. Hold the lid slightly open until the cheese melts, then dig in! Number of waffles: Waffle makers can generally make one, two or four waffles at a time. Consider how many people you often feed at once to figure out which makes most sense for you. (And note, you can keep waffles warm in a 225°F oven if you're working in batches).

For a gourmet treat, why not make your own ice cream? Or grab a whisk and whip up some fresh double cream? With a dusting of powdered sugar and some fresh fruit, this is a weekend brunch to wake up for.

Consider not only the size of the appliance but also the size of the waffles. Waffle makers can be quite large, so you may want to invest in a compact, easy-to-store model if you don't have much space in your kitchen or on your counter. Another thing to consider is the shape. Some waffle makers produce squares, while some make rectangular waffles, and others circular. Most models produce a single waffle at a time, but if you have a large family or frequently entertain guests then it makes sense to go for a machine that makes two or more waffles at a time.

You’ll be cooking the dough (almond flour, eggs, cheeses, seasoning, and baking powder) in the waffle maker. Add your toppings and bake in the oven for a few minutes to achieve melty cheese on top.

Give breakfast time a rise with the best waffle makers – and never pay for overpriced waffles again

These decadent waffles are egg-free, dairy-free and suitable for vegans. Your family will be in for a special treat. I mean, what is not to love about Pecan and Strawberries? Sounds like a match made in heaven. To make this waffle taste sweet and indulging, make sure to follow the ratio of ingredients in this recipe by Sallys Baking Addiction. Maple syrup, berry compote, banana and molten pools of chocolate sauce... there's nothing like a tower of waffles piled high with your favourite toppings for an indulgent weekend breakfast or brunch (or even lunch, or dinner – I'm very much in favour of savoury waffles topped with sautéed mushrooms and cheese, as served at cult independent Norwich restaurant The Waffle House).
