Waffle Batter Mix and Maple Syrup

I just bought a waffle maker and am thinking about eating waffles every day for the rest of my life, but I don't fancy the idea of making waffle batter every day for the rest of my life. So I want a waffle batter mix that makes good waffles and is the lowest price per waffle, while still producing good waffles. I think a batter mix might be better because I just want one waffle a day and the leftover batter can't be stored in the fridge because it starts levening and unlevening immediately.

I also need a good deal on real maple syrup.

I've checked Amazon and Google Products already but I don't know any of these brands and the reviews on the cheaper ones are mixed, some say the waffle batter is fine and others say it produces waffles like cardboard.

    Costco Maple Syrup is pretty decent. It's a rebadged common variety from Canada and will keep you going for a good while.

    No idea about the batter but pretty sure you'll get sick of it after 3 days so don't go overboard ordering bulk just yet.

      That one says it is the best waffle mix in Australia. But it is water only, wouldn't a batter mix that requires milk or some egg be better? And it says to rest the batter for 30 minutes after mixing, I was hoping for more like mix and use straight away.

        Everything but the water is already in the mix.

        The ingredients don't appear to contain milk powder so I thought that's why they say use water. You can always try one batch with water and another with milk and see which ones you prefer. Generally resting of batter after pouring in liquids and mixing is to help reduce lumps (undissolved flour mix). Other ways to reduce lumps would be to incorporate a little liquid at first to make a paste then add more liquid while stirring to make a slurry. Some mixes have additives to make it less lumpy when adding liquids (a bit like some protein powders). Also resting would reduce the amount of bubbles in the mix (unless you prefer it that way).

    Make a batch of waffles, freeze left overs. Defrost in toaster. Yum.

      yeah this is the simplest solution. its what i do when i make protein waffles.

      That's a good idea, but my waffle maker is a big round one, the vertical Cuisinart. Too big for the toaster. There is a toaster oven I can use though, so maybe that would work even better.

    This is my waffle mix that I use. Makes about 20 (I have the Sunbeam Waffle/jaffle maker). Normally I make 2 batches once a month, and freeze them and the Kids eat them for breakfast

    I decided to try and make a single waffle batter, using one egg per waffle and half a cup of flour/half a cup of milk, and I'll try wholemeal flour for the extra fibre. I went with Kirkland grade b maple syrup too, I figure the stronger flavour of grade b will mean I can use less per waffle.
