Summarize the following:
You can make it from scratch using your favorite recipe, or you can make it using a boxed mix. Don't over-mix the batter; you want there to be some lumps. If you do this, the waffle will turn out chewy. Add some oil or melted butter into your recipe to reduce sticking. For extra flavor, add some cinnamon, vanilla, or almond extract. If you want some heat in your breakfast, try a dash of chili powder. Set the waffle maker onto a flat, heat-safe surface and plug it in. If your waffle maker has different heat settings (ie: light, medium, dark), select the one that appeals to you. Some models will have an indicator light that switches on. Pay attention to this light; it will turn off or change color when the iron is ready to use.
Prepare your desired waffle batter. Preheat the waffle maker.
