Kids In The Kitchen
Cooking tips and suggestions for kids making this recipe.
- Preheating a waffle iron helps to prevent the batter from sticking to the iron when it is added.
- Crack the egg in a separate bowl then pour into the batter. This way if you accidentally drop a shell int the egg bowl, it can be easily scooped out.
- Use a spoon to scoop flour into the measuring cup and then a knife to level out the top of the measuring cup once full. This spoon and sweep method will provide an accurate amount of flour to prevent crumbly and dry waffles.
