Why does waffle dough get dark?
Always when I make waffles or pancakes the dough of it gets dark after a few hours. It looks like having black sprinkles.
Why is that and how long can I still use it?
The ingredients I use for waffles are:
- 250g sugar
- 250g margarine
- 500g flour
- 5 eggs
- 500g milk
- baking powder
- a shot of rum
And for pancakes I use almost the same
- sugar
- flour
- eggs
- milk
- baking powder
It will get darker - it is still pretty fresh.

Why is my pancake batter dark?
Baking soda also controls the browning of the batter in the pan. Not enough soda will result in a blonde, flat pancake. Too much will result in a tall, dark, soapy-tasting pancake. Pancakes should be cooked on medium heat.Can you let waffle batter sit overnight?
Yes! If you forgot to prepare your batter the night before you can absolutely still prepare these in the morning, and they will be delicious; however, letting the batter sit overnight does take them to the next level, and we recommend it if you can.How long can waffle batter sit out?
When left at room temperature, the waffle batter will only remain fresh for 2-3 hours, as the batter consists of both milk and eggs, both perishable ingredients. With time, the microbes will start contaminating the batter and, eventually, the taste of waffles will change.How long should waffle batter sit before cooking?
Add the milk mixture to the flour mixture and mix well, until almost smooth. Let the batter sit for 30 minutes. Heat a waffle iron (highly recommend using a Belgian waffle iron but classic will also work). Follow the directions on your waffle iron to cook the waffles.How to Make the Best Waffles!
