dumb waffle Q

[janiejones]

My waffle maker has a recipe that says it makes 20 waffles.
Does this mean 5 times in the waffle maker, at four slices each?

I want to make enough for 16 people or so. Do you think tripling the recipe is enough?

I did say it was a dumb Q.
I can't even think how many times I should do the recipe over. I feel like I usually eat three waffles (or 3/4 of the grid of 4). I've seen my brother eat 8 (2 grids of 4)

There are lots of men at breakfast.

I always thought that one waffle was 4 grids.

I think that the original recipe is enough.

4 "grids" = 1 waffle.

Original recipe is enough.

Yes, though YMMV with the brand/style of waffle maker you have. I have a waffle maker with super deep indentations making for thick waffles, so whatever a recipe says it yields, I usually get 2/3s.

That said, with 16 people coming I'd probably make them ahead and freeze, then bake them in the oven to reheat, so you can figure out how many batches you need beforehand.

Can't you just mix another batch while you are waiting for them to cook? This seems to be a lot of work for waffles.

But are you making any other food?? I would think 2-3 squares per person, if you are having sausage or bacon and other sides with it.

Well, when a batch is done, 4 people get waffles, so 8 people are hanging out with a hangdog expression watching them chow down. Then the next batch is done, the 1st 4 people are done and still hungry, and the poor last 4 are still looking sad. If you make them in advance, they're all done at the same-ish time, and there's less crap you have to do with messyass batter while people are actually there.
