Waffles

I can tell you one thing; if you forget the eggs, it doesn't taste very good.

After trying a lot of waffle recipes, this is now my go-to quick waffle. A few notes: Whisk the eggs really well, then drizzle in the melted butter while whisking. Add the milk and yogurt after that. Waffle batter is not the same as pancakes; use a whisk to incorporate the wet into the dry, and whisk it smooth, no lumps. Lastly, if you have a non-stick waffle maker, don't use butter or oil on it! Greasing the surface only makes waffles soggy. These are great with choc syrup and bananas!

I used my digital kitchen scale to measure the dry ingredients, but for fun I used the volume measurements to see how closely they matched. My measured two cups of flour was about 20g over what the recipe called for, not very surprising since it’s so easy to pack flour too tightly, but my teaspoon of baking powder weighed in at less than half the eight grams in the recipe. An internet search revealed that a teaspoon of baking powder is about four grams — a big difference for a key ingredient.

Made a half recipe this morning. Just right for two. Top with fresh berries and real maple syrup. Very easy and very good. Light and crispy. Added just a hint of cinnamon to the dry ingredients, about ¼ tsp. for the half recipe.

This recipe works well. We've made these waffles a number of times using buttermilk or the milk/lemon juice. You can reduce the butter to 4 tbsp without a discernible difference in taste or texture. For a crisper outside and fluffier waffle, separate egg whites out, beat them, and fold them into the batter. It only takes an extra few minutes but it's worth the end product.

Mix your batter the night before, cover, and let it sit on the sideboard overnight, Try this with any waffle, pancake batter (biscuits also). The proteins in the flour will absorb the moinsture and soften, producing a tender, more easily digested and delightful result.

I make a very similar recipe for waffles. They are extraordinarily light and delicious. I do make one variation. I mix in about 2/3 cup cooked rice (often leftover from a Chinese or Thai order) to the dry ingredients. It adds a level of delightful chewiness.

If you have a family member with Type II diabetes, you can substitute Bob's Red Mill Low Carb Baking Mix for the flour and these waffles are terrific and very low carb. Very light and tender. I used the sour cream instead of the yogurt which added a nice tang.

Delicious. I measured and mixed the dry ingredients the night before. That made it a lot easier in the a.m.

Actually, there is no reason not to use all whole wheat flour in these waffles. I did, separating the eggs, as Melissa suggested, and the waffles turned out spectacularly.

These were great! We got around 20 waffles -- our maker probably makes smaller waffles (4 waffles per patch). Compared to most waffle recipes, this had a lot less sugar, which was a big plus. We followed the tip about beating the egg whites and used a buttermilk substitute (milk + vinegar). We also added 1/2 tsp vanilla and some chocolate chips, both of which I thought were really nice. Served with strawberries and syrup. Will be making these regularly!

Surprisingly good and fluffy. The eggs give a slightly souflee charachter even though i used 3 jumbo instead of the 4 large called for. I added a little vanilla and also since we had almond milk I used that instead of cow's which was fine. I used 4 tbs oil rather than the 6 tbs butter which was fine. Use cooking spray on your waffle iron, more effective and easier than brushing butter.

I skipped the waffle iron and just made these as pancakes. Very good---light and easy. I used Greek yogurt and added a little extra milk because the batter seemed very thick. I dropped chocolate chips on some and frozen blueberries on others before I flipped them. Perfect Saturday night supper.

Man, these were easy. I substituted sour cream for the yogurt and it worked but I don't know that I would do that again. Here's the thing: got up on a weekday morning and whipped this recipe together in a matter of 15 minutes or so with help from daughter. Love the quickness and the ease of this recipe.

Thank you for this wonderful waffle recipe! I make a few small changes to suit myself but they aren't necessary: add a splash of vanilla, dash of cinnamon, cut the salt slightly, substitute a 1/4 cup of flour with wheat germ and use three eggs rather than four.
