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.

CLASSIC CRISPY WAFFLES



Classic Crispy Waffles image

The secret to these super-crispy waffles is using a little vegetable shortening. Make a large batch on the weekend, then grab and reheat on a rushed morning.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

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.

Tips:

  • For crispier waffles, use a waffle iron with deep pockets.
  • Make sure your waffle iron is hot before adding the batter.
  • Don't overmix the batter, as this will result in tough waffles.
  • Let the batter rest for a few minutes before cooking, as this will help the waffles rise.
  • Cook the waffles according to the manufacturer's instructions.
  • Serve the waffles with your favorite toppings, such as butter, syrup, fruit, or whipped cream.

Conclusion:

These light and crispy waffles are the perfect way to start your day. They're easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With so many different variations to choose from, you're sure to find a recipe that you love. So next time you're looking for a delicious and satisfying breakfast, give these waffles a try.
