1 tablespoon (12g) granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda

  • Allow batter to sit for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 200°F and set a baking sheet inside to place the waffle(s) on after cooking to keep warm while you cook the rest of the batter.*
  • Preheat waffle iron and cook batter according to your iron's instructions*, typically 4 to 6 minutes per waffle, until waffle is nicely golden and has mostly stopped releasing steam. Waffle may not initially seem crispy to the touch, but will crisp up out of the waffle maker.

Categories     main-dish

Time 35m

Yield About 8 waffles

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon fine salt
1 1/2 cups milk
4 tablespoons melted unsalted butter, plus more for brushing waffle iron
4 tablespoons vegetable shortening, melted
2 large eggs
Pure maple syrup, soft unsalted butter, confectioners' sugar or fruit preserves, for topping

Steps:

  • Preheat a waffle iron to medium-high. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F (to keep cooked waffles warm). Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Whisk together the milk, butter, shortening and eggs in another bowl. Pour the milk mixture into the flour mixture and gently stir until just incorporated (it's okay if there are some lumps).
  • Lightly brush the top and bottom of the waffle iron with butter. Fill the waffle iron about three-quarters of the way full (some waffle iron should still be showing). Close the lid gently and cook until the waffles are golden brown and crisp, 6 to 7 minutes. Keep the cooked waffles warm in the oven or covered with foil on a plate while you make the remaining waffles.
  • Serve with maple syrup, butter, sugar or fruit preserves.

WAFFLES



Waffles image

It's time to put that waffle iron languishing in the back of your cabinet to good use. These airy, delicate and crisp-edged waffles are so fabulous, yet so simple to throw together, they're destined to become part of your weekend breakfast routine. Freeze leftovers, if you have any, in Ziplock bags and serve them during the week. You can pop them in the toaster to reheat (use a light setting) and they come out nearly as well as freshly made, maybe even slightly crunchier. For a lighter, fluffier waffle, separate the eggs and proceed with step 2 using the egg yolks. Beat the whites until stiff, then fold into the batter. For whole-grain waffles, use 1 1/3 cup all-purpose flour and 2/3 cup whole-wheat flour. You can also substitute brown sugar for the granulated.

Tips:

  • Use the right waffle iron. A Belgian waffle maker will produce thicker, fluffier waffles, while a traditional waffle maker will produce thinner, crispier waffles.
  • Preheat your waffle iron. This will help ensure that your waffles cook evenly.
  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the taste of your waffles.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the waffles tough.
  • Let the batter rest for a few minutes before cooking. This will help the batter to thicken and produce lighter waffles.
  • Cook the waffles until they are golden brown. This will ensure that they are cooked through and crispy.
  • Serve the waffles immediately with your favorite toppings. Waffles are best when they are fresh and hot.

Conclusion:

Waffles are a delicious and versatile breakfast food that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a little practice, you can make perfect waffles at home. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy breakfast, give this classic crispy waffles recipe a try.
