How Are Waffles Made?
A waffle mix recipe requires a delicate mix of pantry and fridge ingredients, including flour, milk, butter, sugar and spices. You have to measure and mix the ingredients, then pour the proper portion into a pre-heated waffle maker. Several minutes later, the waffle is ready to be served and covered in delicious toppings.
Waffle mixes condense those steps, combining all essential ingredients into a prepackaged mix. In most cases, you just need to pour the mix into a mixing bowl, add milk or water and stir.
Does Pancake Mix Go Bad?
Pancake mix is shelf stable, meaning it doesn't have to be refrigerated. Still, most packages come with a "best used by" date printed on the box or bag. For the best eating experience, it's to your benefit to consume the mix by the printed date, which is often about 6-12 months after the product was manufactured.
You can help get the most out of your pancake mix by storing unused portions of the product — minus the wet mix-ins, such as water or milk, in an air-tight food storage container.
Can Pancake Mix Be Used for Waffles?
Sometimes you're craving a waffle-based breakfast, but all you have in the pantry is a collection of pancake mixes. No worries - you can actually transform that mix into something waffle-ready in under a minute. The main difference between a basic pancake recipe and a basic waffle recipe is the batter's richness.
Waffles are denser and typically require a bit more butter, eggs and sugar. You can reproduce that effect by combining 1 cup of pancake mix with ¼ cup of sugar and about ¾ cup of milk. Another suggestion is to add 2 extra tablespoons of oil to every cup of dry pancake mix. You may need to play with your DIY recipes to see which version your taste buds prefer.
