  3. Preheat the waffle maker to desired setting.
  4. Pour a scant cup of batter onto the center of the bottom waffle plate. Close the waffle maker and turn clockwise to flip. Open the second waffle plate and add another scant cup of batter onto the center of that plate, close and turn clockwise to flip.
