Our favorite Waffles
Equipment
- Waffle iron Get a good-quality, full-sized waffle iron- it will make a big difference!
Ingredients
- 1 3/4 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour blend
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 3/4 cups milk dairy or non-dairy
- 2 large eggs/egg substitute
- 1/4 cup melted butter or coconut oil
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the Waffle Iron: Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.
- Prepare Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Make sure all the dry ingredients are well combined.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, melted butter (or coconut oil), and vanilla extract until the mixture is well combined.
- Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently stir the mixture until just combined. It's okay if there are a few lumps; overmixing can make the waffles tough.
- Let the Batter Rest: Allow the batter to rest for about 5-10 minutes. This helps the gluten-free flour blend absorb the liquid and results in better texture.
- Cook the Waffles: Lightly grease the waffle iron with a non-stick spray or a bit of melted butter. Pour the batter onto the preheated waffle iron, using the amount recommended by your waffle iron's instructions.
- Usually, it takes about 3-5 minutes, or until the waffles are golden brown and crisp.
