Not sure if it was the waffle mix, or if I received bad yeast, but my dough did not rise and these were very heavy, dense waffles. Not sure I'd buy again!

Waffle Pantry replied: It is really important that the dough rises in order for it to take on a light and airy structure. This is going to otherwise result in heavy and dense waffles as you already noted out. Please make sure the water you use when preparing the mix is not too hot, as it can kill the yeast. You can use lukewarm water as long as the butter is soft. Cover the dough with kitchen cloth towel to absorb the humidity that is formed during the fermentation. Lastly, place the dough inside your oven (switched off) for more consistent room temperature for 2-3 hours to rise.
