* Waffle maker settings – my Breville Waffle Pro has setting options. Remove from the waffle iron using a butter knife of similar, then serve immediately while they are hot and crisp. The faster it cooks, the more moist the inside is! (See above for quality v economical waffle irons). In a more economical one, it can take 6 minutes plus. In a quality waffle iron, this might take 3 1/2 minutes. Don’t get greedy – it will leak out the sides!Ĭook until the exterior is golden. Then use a ladle to fill with batter, just until the iron is covered. You won’t need oil if your waffle iron is non-stick, as is standard. And if you rest overnight, the batter develops more flavour – in the same way overnight bread and pizza dough does!įill waffle maker – Preheat a waffle iron until hot (see below for settings note). This makes the flour grains absorb the liquid so it makes the inside of the waffles softer. Recommended overnight or 2 hr resting – for the tastiest waffles, rest the batter overnight in the fridge or for at least 2 hours. Once incorporated, add the butter then whisk until lump free.īatter – The batter is thicker than a pancake batter (which should be thin enough to spread in a pan) but thinner than a muffin batter (which semi-mounds in muffin tins). Whisk in wet – put the milk, eggs and vanilla in first and whisk to combine. Whisk dry ingredients – flour, baking powder, sugar and salt.

Makes the flour grain swell because it absorbs the liquid. This is good general practice for all (well, most!) sweet baking recipes.įor the tastiest waffles with extra soft insides, make the batter the night before and rest overnight. Salt – Just a touch, to bring out the flavours. Just use the microwave (30 seconds) or stove.īutter – For flavour! Melt then cool slightly so it’s not piping hot.

Warm it slightly so it’s not fridge cold, else it can bring down the temperature of the batter too much and cause the butter to solidify when mixed through.

Milk – Full fat please! Lower fat in light milk will make the inside of the waffles drier. Use large eggs which are ~55g / 2 oz each, an industry standard so the eggs will be labelled “large eggs” on the carton. More on eggs for baking here. However, regular/granulated sugar is fine to use too.Įggs – At room temperature, so they incorporate easily into the batter. Sugar – Caster/superfine sugar is safest because it’s smaller grains so you know it will easily dissolve. That’s just the case with anything you make using self raising flour rather than flour + baking powder.īaking powder – On baking powder, if yours has sat unused in the back of your pantry for months and months, check it is still alive else you may end up with dense waffles! You can substitute the flour and baking powder with self raising flour (which has baking powder built in) and it works fine, but it is not quite as soft inside. 🙂įlour – Just plain / all purpose flour. Just different ratios so it cooks up crispy. Seriously, just the same ingredients as pancakes. They are magnificent! A recipe for another day. * Dough? Yes! Real Belgium waffles are made with a yeast-dough, not a batter, cooked in a waffle iron. But I am still very happy with my Kmart waffles made with this waffle batter! More economical ones are not quite as crispy – like my Kmart one. Better quality ones (read: pricier) will yield thicker waffles with a crispier crust that’s evenly golden (I’ve got this one – a bit of an investment for people serious about waffles). However, not all waffle makers are created equal. There’s no way around that, sadly! Waffle makers – or waffle irons – cook the waffle when batter or dough* is placed between hot plates that have grids that create the indentations. Yes, you need a waffle maker to make waffles. Waffles for the win, every day!!! Just on waffle makers…. Though I do acknowledge that pancakes don’t require any special tools – unlike waffles for which you need a waffle maker.īut if you take the need for a waffle maker out of the equation, for me, it’s a no brainer. You can also make multiple waffles in one go with a waffle maker, whereas pancakes are made one at a time.

Whereas pancakes get soggy when they absorb maple syrup. Because they have maple syrup and butter catching pockets. You can make this waffle recipe right now, though if you make the batter the night before they’re even better! Which is better: pancakes or waffles? Waffles are easy – same ingredients as pancakes, just different ratios so they’re crispy outside, soft and fluffy inside.
