2.
Pour batter onto grids of a preheated, lightly greased waffle baker. Bake according to manufacturer's directions. When done, use a fork to lift waffle off grid. Repeat with remaining batter. Serve warm with Jicama-Bean Salsa and bottled salsa. If desired, top with sour cream and cheese. Makes 10 to 12 (4-inch) waffles.
