LIGHT AND CRISPY WAFFLES



Light and Crispy Waffles image

These light and crispy waffles come together quickly. Cornstarch is the secret to crispy waffles. It guarantees that your waffles will be perfectly crisp and tender. This recipe makes four standard waffles (1/2-inch to 3/4-inch thick). If you want to make thicker Belgian waffles or use a deep waffle iron, you will get closer to three waffles using our recipe below. Separating the egg is optional but is recommended. We do not do this in the video; however, after years of feedback from readers, we have determined that whipping the egg white thickens the batter slightly and improves the results for deeper waffle irons.

Time 35m

Yield Makes 4 standard waffles or 2 to 3 thick waffles

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup (130 grams) all-purpose flour
1/4 cup (30 grams) cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 tablespoon sugar
1 cup (235 ml) buttermilk or milk
1/3 cup (80 ml) vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 large egg
Butter, syrup and/or berries, for serving

Steps:

  • Whisk together the flour, cornstarch, salt, baking powder, baking soda, and sugar in a large bowl.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk the buttermilk, oil, and vanilla extract.
  • For the lightest waffles, separate the egg. Whisk the egg yolk into the milk mixture. If you do not plan on separating the egg, whisk the whole egg into the milk mixture.
  • If you separate the egg, add the egg white to another bowl, use a handheld mixer to beat until stiff, and then set aside.
  • Whisk the milk mixture into the dry ingredients until only small lumps are left. Switch to a rubber spatula and gently fold in the whipped egg whites.
  • Set the batter aside for five to ten minutes while preparing the waffle iron.
  • Heat the waffle iron to the highest heat setting.
  • Cook waffles until golden and crisp, adding enough batter to the waffle iron to fill the entire lower grid. If the waffles look too dark, turn the heat down slightly.
  • Serve the waffles immediately or keep them warm and crispy on a rack in a 200°F oven until ready to serve. Stacking them outside the oven will cause them to steam and become floppy.

Time 35m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups/9 ounces all-purpose flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup granulated sugar (or less for savory waffles)
2 large eggs (beaten)
1 2/3 cups milk
1/4 cup butter (melted)
1 12 to 15-ounce can whole kernel corn (well drained, or about 1 3/4 to 2 cups cooked fresh corn kernels*)

Steps:

  • Gather the ingredients.

  • In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Set aside.
  • In another bowl, combine the eggs and milk; whisk until well blended. Whisk in the 1/4 cup of melted butter.
  • Add the egg and milk mixture to the flour mixture and blend thoroughly. Stir in the corn kernels. If necessary, add more milk to make the batter thin enough to flow when poured into the waffle iron.
  • Following the appliance directions, fill the waffle iron with the batter, gently spreading as needed.
  • When the first batch is done, remove them to a baking sheet and place them in the preheated oven to keep warm while you cook subsequent batches.
  • To serve, drizzle the corn waffles with melted butter and maple syrup or dust them with powdered sugar.
