Chilly winter mornings are better with a hot cup of coffee, comfy PJs and a warm stack of waffles. And when it comes to cute kitchen appliances, the Dash snowflake mini waffle maker is the festive tool you need for your go-to waffle recipe. The best part? It’s not super holiday-centric, so you can use it all winter long—not just for Christmas brunch.
What is a mini snowflake waffle maker?
The Dash snowflake mini waffle maker trades the classic honeycomb pattern for an adorable snowflake print. Each waffle is four inches in diameter and the iron only makes one at a time, so you might need to make a few batches to fill up your family. But the cook time is shockingly short (only a few minutes), so you won’t be waiting long before everyone can dig in.
With its light blue, snowflake-patterned lid, the waffle maker itself is just as cute as the breakfast dish it makes. It’s also small and light, so it’s easy to store when not on your countertop.
How to Use a Mini Snowflake Waffle Maker
This waffle iron keeps it small and simple. Once you whip up your batter (the appliance comes with a few waffle recipes) and plug it in, a little light turns on to let you know when the Dash snowflake mini waffle maker is hot enough for cooking. Then simply pour in your mixture and close the lid. The hardest part is picking which waffle topping to serve!
We’d also argue this mini waffle maker is easier to clean than traditional waffle makers—the cooking surface’s snowflake pattern means there aren’t all those little squares batter can become stuck in. The waffle maker should clean easily with a soapy cloth (or Christmas Scrub Daddy sponge). If any food becomes burned onto the surface, let it soak in a bit of cooking oil before scrubbing it off. Never submerge your mini waffle maker in water as it can destroy the heating component.
Other Festive Waffle Irons
