Crispy Cinnamon Waffles Recipes

CLASSIC CRISPY WAFFLES

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.

CINNAMON WAFFLES - EASY AND DELICIOUS!

Steps:

• In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, and cinnamon until blended. In a medium bowl, whisk together the milk, oil, vanilla, and eggs.
• Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, and mix until just combined (a few small lumps are okay). Let rest five minutes.
• While the batter is resting, preheat your waffle iron. Add the batter and cook according to your waffle maker's directions. (For my belgian waffle maker, 1 cup of batter cooked for 4 minutes was perfect.)
• Serve warm, and top with syrup, whipped cream, and cinnamon, if desired.

LIGHT AND CRISPY WAFFLES

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.

CRISPY CINNAMON WAFFLES

Steps:

• Mix first 6 ingredients in bowl one.
• Melt the shortening in microwave- safe bowl on high for 45 seconds.
• Thoroughly beat next 6 ingredients in bowl two.
• Gradually pour bowl one mixture into bowl two, and whisk until smooth.
• Fold in egg whites with rubber spatula.
• Pour into waffle maker- one full medium sized ladle should make one waffle.
• We set our waffle maker on high and leave them in long enough to brown- they should come out very crunchy. Place in low- heat oven to keep warm.
