It is suitable for:

  • Cafés and coffee shops

  • Dessert parlours

  • Quick-service restaurants

  • Takeaways and delivery kitchens

  • Garden centres

Because the preparation method is straightforward, Golden Waffle can help businesses improve consistency between different staff members, shifts and locations.

What Is Commercial Waffle Mix?

Commercial waffle mix is a professionally blended dry mix developed for regular use in cafés, restaurants, hotels and other hospitality environments.

Unlike a small domestic baking mix, a commercial waffle mix must deliver reliable results across higher production volumes. It should be simple to prepare, easy to store and capable of producing a consistent waffle throughout a busy service.

Golden Waffle is blended in the UK for professional hospitality use. It is designed to produce dependable results while reducing the preparation normally required when making waffle batter from scratch.

The mix can be prepared in smaller batches during quieter periods or larger batches for busy breakfast, brunch and dessert services.

How Do You Prepare Golden Waffle Mix?

Golden Waffle is a just-add-water commercial waffle mix.

The standard preparation ratio is:

  • 500g Golden Waffle mix

  • 500ml water

For a larger batch:

  • 1kg Golden Waffle mix

  • 1 litre of water

For one full 2.25kg bag:

  • 2.25kg Golden Waffle mix

  • Approximately 2.25 litres of water

Preparation Instructions

  1. Measure the required amount of cold or room-temperature water into a clean mixing container.

  2. Add the required amount of Golden Waffle mix.

  3. Whisk until the batter is smooth and evenly combined.

  4. Allow the batter to settle briefly before use.

  5. Pour the correct portion into a fully preheated commercial waffle machine.

  6. Close the machine and cook according to the machine’s recommended time and temperature.

  7. Serve immediately for the best texture and presentation.

For best results, operators should use the same weighing, mixing and portioning procedure during every service.

The exact cooking time can vary depending on the machine, plate depth, temperature setting and waffle size.

Does Golden Waffle Mix Need Eggs or Butter?

No additional eggs or butter are required during preparation.

Golden Waffle is designed as a just-add-water mix, meaning hospitality staff do not need to measure fresh eggs, melted butter or cooking oil into every batch.

This can offer several operational benefits:

  • Faster batter preparation

  • Fewer ingredients to measure

  • Reduced preparation errors

  • Less washing and kitchen mess

  • Easier staff training

  • More consistent batches

  • Simpler stock control

  • Reduced reliance on refrigerated ingredients

  • Lower risk of running out of eggs or butter during service

Businesses should always refer to the ingredients and allergen declaration on the packaging before making dietary, vegan or allergen-free claims.

What Pack Sizes Are Available?

Golden Waffle commercial waffle and pancake mix is available in practical sizes for both small and high-volume hospitality operators.

2.25kg Commercial Bags

Our 2.25kg bags are designed for professional kitchens and allow businesses to prepare manageable batches while keeping unopened product sealed until required.

13.5kg Trade Box

The 13.5kg commercial box contains:

  • 6 × 2.25kg bags

  • 13.5kg total waffle and pancake mix

This format is ideal for cafés, hotels, restaurants, dessert shops and regular commercial users.

3kg Resealable Tubs.

Golden Waffle is also available in 3kg resealable tubs. The tub format provides convenient storage and allows operators to scoop out the amount required before replacing the lid.

12kg Multi-Tub System

For businesses that prefer resealable tubs, larger systems containing four 3kg tubs may also be available.

Wholesale and Pallet Quantities

Wholesale, distributor and pallet quantities are available for suitable hospitality groups, wholesalers, cash-and-carry businesses and international customers.

Trade customers can contact Golden Waffle to discuss expected usage, delivery requirements and the most suitable pack format.

Approximately How Many Waffles Does One Bag Make?

The number of waffles produced from one bag depends on:

  • The size of the waffle

  • The depth of the waffle plate

  • The amount of batter used per portion

  • The type of commercial waffle machine

  • Staff portion control

  • Batter wastage during service

As a general commercial estimate, one 2.25kg bag may produce approximately 35 to 50 standard round waffles, depending on the portion size used.

A full 13.5kg box containing six 2.25kg bags may therefore produce approximately 210 to 300 standard waffles.

These figures are approximate and should not be treated as a guaranteed yield.

For accurate cost calculations, Golden Waffle recommends carrying out a controlled test using your own waffle machine, plate size and preferred batter portion. Weighing or measuring every portion will provide the most reliable yield and cost-per-waffle figure.

Businesses can request a sample to test the mix before opening a full trade account.

What Are the Benefits of Just-Add-Water Waffle Mix?

Faster Preparation

Traditional waffle recipes may require flour, eggs, butter, milk, oil and additional ingredients to be weighed and mixed separately.

Golden Waffle simplifies the process to two main components:

  • Golden Waffle mix

  • Water

This helps reduce preparation time and makes it easier to produce fresh batter during a busy service.

Greater Consistency

When several employees prepare batter from scratch, results can vary. One person may use more butter, another may add too much liquid and another may not measure the ingredients accurately.

A fixed mix-to-water ratio creates a more repeatable preparation method.

This is particularly valuable for:

  • Hotels with rotating breakfast teams

  • Cafés employing part-time staff

  • Multi-site restaurant groups

  • Busy dessert shops

  • Businesses with frequent staff turnover

Easier Staff Training

The simple preparation process can be taught quickly:

Measure the water, add the mix, whisk and cook.

Clear preparation instructions can also be displayed in the kitchen or batter preparation area to help every team member follow the same method.

Simpler Stock Control

Instead of monitoring several ingredients for waffle production, the business can maintain stock of Golden Waffle mix and ensure water is available.

This can simplify ordering and reduce the risk of an item being unavailable during service.

Reduced Refrigerated Ingredient Handling

Because no additional eggs or butter are required during preparation, operators do not need to retrieve, measure and return those ingredients every time a batch is made.

The dry mix should still be handled and stored in accordance with the packaging instructions and normal food-safety procedures.

Suitable for Waffles and Pancakes

Golden Waffle mix is not limited to one menu item. It can also be used to prepare thick American-style pancakes by adjusting the recommended water ratio and cooking the batter on a suitable griddle or pancake cooking surface.

This allows operators to offer:

  • Breakfast waffles

  • Dessert waffles

  • Chicken and waffles

  • American pancakes

  • Pancake stacks

  • Children’s desserts

  • Seasonal waffle specials

  • Brunch dishes

Can Golden Waffle Mix Be Used for American Pancakes?

Yes. Golden Waffle mix can be used to create thick, soft American-style pancakes.

Suggested pancake preparation ratios include:

  • 250g mix with 180ml water

  • 500g mix with 360ml water

  • 1kg mix with 720ml water

  • One 2.25kg bag with approximately 1.62 litres of water

Mix until smooth and cook on a suitable preheated griddle or pancake plate.

The lower water ratio creates a thicker batter suitable for producing soft, raised American-style pancakes.

Cooking time will vary depending on the griddle temperature, pancake size and batter portion.

How Should Golden Waffle Mix Be Stored?

Unopened Golden Waffle mix should be stored in a cool, dry place at ambient room temperature.

For best product quality:

  • Keep the mix away from direct sunlight

  • Store away from heat and moisture

  • Do not store directly on the floor

  • Keep unopened bags sealed until required

  • Reseal tubs securely after use

  • Transfer opened bags into a clean, suitable food-safe container where necessary

  • Follow stock rotation procedures

  • Use older stock before newly delivered stock

  • Always check the best-before date

  • Keep the product away from strong odours or chemicals

Once the dry mix has been combined with water, it becomes prepared batter and should be handled under appropriate food-safety procedures.

Operators should prepare sensible batch sizes based on expected demand and avoid keeping prepared batter longer than recommended by their food-safety policy.

The product may also contain, or be manufactured in an environment that handles, other allergens. Customers must always check the current packaging, ingredient declaration and allergen information supplied with the product.

Is Golden Waffle Mix Vegan or Suitable for Special Diets?

The standard Golden Waffle just-add-water mix should not automatically be described as vegan, egg-free, dairy-free or suitable for allergy sufferers merely because no eggs or butter are added during preparation.

Dietary suitability depends on:

  • The complete ingredient list

  • Manufacturing controls

  • Cross-contamination information

  • The toppings used

  • The waffle machine and utensils

  • The latest approved product specification
