Use one of our recommended waffle cone recipes included here or select a family favorite. The mixture should be adjusted with a bit of oil or a pinch more flour so that it is thin enough to spoon easily and run slowly but not freely from a small ladle. One waffle takes a little less than 1/4 cup or 4 tablespoons of batter. Find a spoon just this size or use a measuring cup. For best results, do not overfill the waffle iron.Baking Your First Waffle Cone
When the green light is ON, ladle the appropriate amount of batter directly in the center or slightly above the center of the waffle pattern. Promptly close the lid. Press the lid down firmly (press on plastic handle) for several seconds to help spread the batter evenly across the waffle grid.
Lift the lid carefully in 60 seconds to check the color of your first waffle. If it is too light, bake another 15 seconds.
It may take a few tries to find the best setting of the Color Control Knob; it is finely calibrated and sensitive. A small movement of the Color Control Knob makes a noticeable difference in the color of the cone. For best results, adjust the Color control Knob 1/2 grade higher to darken the cone and 1/2 grade lower to lighten the cone. When you have the setting just as you like, the green and red lights usually can be used to time your baking cycle.
Here is how the red and green timer lights work. Ladle the batter onto the plate when the green light is ON; in 20-30 seconds it will go off and the red light will come ON. This indicates that the plates are heating. In another 30 seconds, the red light goes off and the green light goes ON a second time. The waffle should then be ready to remove and form. If you find it easier, use a timer and bake your cones for 60 to 75 seconds.
