Krusteaz Light & Crispy Belgian Waffle Mix No Artificial Flavors, Colors, or Preservatives 28 Ounce (Pack of 3)

I didn't realize that this mix only came with instructions to make an entire box or half box. That is 26 waffles (or 13 for half box!) I didn't need that many so I tried to figure out the amount for 4. I did it using grams and a kitchen scale. I adore my kitchen scale for baking. No more spooning flour into some measuring cup and leveling, what a mess and so many extra things to wash! With a scale, you can measure right into a bowl and dump it in (or all in one bowl with the tare function.) Anyway, it turns out that the weight of the waffle mix and water end up being pretty equal. So for the box scaled down to 4 Belgian waffles, it ended up being 348 grams of mix and 349 grams water (one gram doesn't make much difference here.) I did measure it the old way and it was 2.5 cups of mix and almost 1.5 cups of water. Except in my waffle maker, it wasn't enough and I only got like 3.75 waffles. I use this Presto Flip waffle maker and I think it is pretty standard. So...with even more math, the sweet spot for 4 waffles in my iron ended up being 372 grams of water and 372 grams of mix. (That's 93 grams of water and 93 grams of mix for each waffle). Btw, I didn't measure this new amount for 4 out with cups as it is like 2 2/3 mix and 1.6 cups or something close. It is weird because gram weights and ounces and cups and liquid cups are all sort of different measurements. And it's hard to measure 1.55 of water!! With grams, it was easy!!! Just make water and mix in equal grams!!! After all that, how were the waffles??! I thought they were good. I still prefer the Golden Malted ones, I think. And homemade ones taste better (but mine don't get that nice crust like a mix.) I think these would be a little better with a touch of vanilla and maybe nutmeg (anything with milk in it is better with a little nutmeg!! Yes, even things like mashed potatoes and macaroni and cheese!) Maybe even a touch of sugar for sweeter waffles. Or maybe it needs some acid like a buttermilk or a few drops of vinegar. I don't know, but they did seem to need ~something~. I do use real maple syrup (it is local here in Pennsylvania!) but any kind of toppings you like are fine (do at least TRY real rather than fake maple syrup though.) Overall, these are solid waffles. Not the best I've ever had, but easy and decent. I may try to tweak them a little (I have a box box left!) but it isn't necessary. I may compare them side by side with the Golden Malted to see which I prefer. This is super easy though as you only need water so if you are out of eggs or butter, you still can make them! That alone is sort of worth a spot in the pantry or freezer (I do keep flour in the freezer for longer term storage.)

Good value and tasty recipe.

I really like this premix the taste is great and it is nice that they come out crispy

I can mix up a batch of waffle batter in about 30 seconds, 1 lb of mix to 2 cups of water makes 4-1/2 seven inch diameter Belgium waffles. We add about 1TB of vanilla and extra sugar but it's unnecessary. Add 1 cup of batter to the waffle maker, flip over, wait 4 minutes, and you have a crispy delicious waffle. It's almost as good as homemade batter but more convenient and faster. My only complaint is cooked waffles needs coaxing out of the waffle maker, they don't stick but they don't pop free like a waffle made from scratch, not sure why. I use a fork and carefully pull it from the waffle maker. All of my homemade mixes just pop out with no effort. I've tried adding oil to the Krusteaz and I've tried brushing the waffle maker with oil, makes no difference, but this is a very minor complaint.

Tastes great! Less filling!

Love ❤️ Love ❤️ Love ❤️ these and so easy to make with a Belgium Waffle Maker .

Always a guarantee of goodness when I use this brand for waffle mix or even cakes.

My wife and I just got our first new waffle machine. We got 2 kinds of waffle mix. this one and Namaste waffle mix, gluten free. We really liked the Namaste's BEST. First, our research said Disney used it. Forget that it says Gluten free. So what, it tastes really good. This brand not so much. Actually my wife won't eat this box any more. I sm "stuck" eating it to not waste it. I recommend you look at https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000LKZA36/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 First off, this mix tastes like regular pancake mix. The box is a big 5 lb box and only has instructions for the whole box with 40 cups of water or half the box. It is just me and my wife. I had to take the half box and cut it down by 8. That is a pain and opens a risk of error. The waffles were pan cake type and not crispy like the Namaste brand.
