These waffles are made using pancake mix, resulting in a quick and delicious breakfast. Perfectly crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, these waffles can be customized with your favorite toppings.
Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions. This usually involves setting it to medium-high heat.
In a mixing bowl, combine the pancake mix and sugar. Then, add the water, vegetable oil, and egg. Stir until the ingredients are just combined. It's okay if there are a few lumps; overmixing can make the waffles tough.
Add optional add-ins: If you're using any optional add-ins like chocolate chips, blueberries, or nuts, gently fold them into the batter.
Lightly grease the waffle iron with non-stick cooking spray or a small amount of oil. This will help prevent the waffles from sticking to the iron.
Pour the batter onto the preheated waffle iron, using a ladle or a measuring cup. The amount of batter will depend on the size of your waffle iron, so be sure not to overfill. Close the lid and cook the waffles according to your waffle iron's instructions, usually for about 3-5 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crisp.
Lift the lid of the waffle iron to check if the waffles are done. They should be evenly browned and crisp to the touch. If they need a bit more time, close the lid and continue cooking.
Carefully remove the cooked waffles from the iron using a fork or tongs. Place them on a wire rack to keep them crisp while you cook the remaining batter.
Serve the freshly cooked waffles warm with your favorite toppings. Classic options include maple syrup, butter, whipped cream, fresh fruit, or even a dusting of powdered sugar.
