Form and Bake Dolls House Waffles or Pancakes

To Make Waffles

  • Lightly coat the 1:12 scale waffle iron with talcum powder (or for Premo clays, water) as a release agent.
  • Press a small ball of polymer clay into the dolls house waffle iron. If your waffle iron allows, you can press both sides of the waffle. Some waffle irons will not meet close enough together to do this.
  • Remove the waffle gently from the mold and place molded side up, or best side up in a baking tray. Try to make the waffles as thin as possible so that they will remain close to scale.
  • If you don't have a waffle iron, stamp the waffle texture out onto a piece of thin polymer clay using a miniature waffle stamp you can make from scrap clay.
  • Bake according to directions for your polymer clay.

To Make Pancakes

  • Put a small amount of talcum powder (or use a damp work surface for Premo clays) on your work surface, or use bakers parchment paper as a base.
  • Form small balls of your base color polymer clay.
  • Use a smooth roller to flatten the polymer clay into pancakes.
  • Carefully remove them to the baking tray, or place your baker’s parchment with the pancakes on it in the baking tray.
  • Bake according to the directions for your polymer clay.
