I finally got the mini waffle maker in my favorite color..Lavender. It was easy very easy to make the waffles. I didn't realize there was a few recipes. I had alrwady made pancake mix when I saw the recipes. I preheated the waffle maker as described in the instructions and poured the batter. Of course the first-time it spilled over but nothing crazy. I put a timer for 3.30 minutes which was perfect. If you want them crispier put them in for 4 to 5 minutes. I made 6 waffles in total. I can't wait to try other recipes. ♥️
