Common mistakes
-
Assuming a large pack is automatically easy to share
A large amount in one pack doesn’t tell you the size of the waffles or how many portions you’ll want to serve.
Check the number of waffles and choose mini syrup waffles if smaller ones are better suited to the occasion. Once opened, follow the storage instructions on the pack.
-
Assuming the ingredients are the same as in a pack you bought before
The ingredients and allergen information apply to a specific variant and may change. This is especially important if someone needs to avoid certain ingredients.
Check the label on each pack you buy, including any warnings about possible cross-contamination.
