Easy Homemade Waffles

Yay waffles, I borrowed my sister’s waffle iron machine and off I went all crazy on waffles, if you don’t have one you can always buy a waffle iron which is similar and you can make it on the stove, or if you don’t have both, you can always make pancakes or crepes it’s practically the same batter, this recipe is for American style waffles, soft in the middle and crispy on the edges.

For the more classic Belgian waffles you have to get pearl sugar which is used for those waffles, it’s a more granulated sugar similar to coarse sugar and the waffle batter has a slower rise with biological yeast, so its a different recipe altogether this is more the common American waffle recipe, its simples and quicker to make and i can say it’s pretty nice, belgian waffles are great but they are also a bit too rich and much, so let’s get to it.

Classic plain homemade waffles, nothing better than these sweet quick cakey waffles that you can sprinkle or pour any sort of sweet mess on top hehehe, enjoy.

Ingredients

Flour – 100gr
Corn Starch – 30gr (Maizena)
Baking Powder – 1/2 teaspoon
Sodium Bicarbonate – 1/4 teaspoon
Salt – A pinch
Sugar – 1 Tablespoon
Milk – 235ml
Oil – 80ml
Egg – 1
Vanilla – 1 teaspoon (extract)
Chocolate – To taste
Butter – To taste
Jelly – To taste
Sugar – To taste
Fruit – To taste

Directions

Start by combining the dry solids, with the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda and a pinch of salt in a bowl.

In a separate small jug or bowl, add the liquids, with the milk, vegetable oil, egg and vanilla, whisk everything well.

Pour the liquid mixture into the dry mixture, mix well and set aside for 15 minutes to rest.

Then heat up the waffle iron. When it’s hot, grease it with a little melted butter, pour in spoonfuls of the batter and close the mold or machine.
The batter will rise and swell, sometimes it may come out a little on the outside, let it cook until golden brown, take it out, grease the mold again and make another one, repeat until you have no batter left.

Let them cool a bit to crisp up the outside and serve plain or with sprinkled sugar, chocolate, butter, jam, honey, fruit, whatever you like, bon appetit.

Notes: The secret here is the Bicarbonate of Soda/Sodium Bicarbonate and the corn starch, both make the batter not only rise super fast and get fluffy on the inside but also make it super crispy on the outside.
