How Do I Know When Waffles Are Done Cooking?

It depends on which waffle iron you have. Some have a light or they beep to tell you when the waffle is done cooking. If yours does not have that you can go by when you stop seeing steam coming out of your waffle iron.

How Much Batter To Put In A Waffle Maker?

Pour about 1/3 cup of batter into the waffle iron to make a 4-inch waffle.
