My Mothers Waffles Recipes

THE BEST WAFFLE RECIPE

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Make a well in the center of the bowl,
• Add buttermilk, egg yolks (reserve the whites, you will need them in a moment), and vanilla extract to the well. Gently whisk together wet ingredients (avoiding the dry) and drizzle butter into mixture while whisking.
• Whisk all wet ingredients together in the well to combine and scramble the egg yolks. Use a spatula to gradually incorporate the rest of the batter until all ingredients are well-combined (but don't over-mix). There will likely be some small lumps in the batter.
• In a separate (completely clean and completely dry) bowl, use an electric mixer to beat egg whites to stiff peaks.
• Fold egg whites into batter, stir gently until completely combined,
• Let the batter sit for about 5 minutes while your waffle iron preheats.
• Once waffle iron is ready, portion batter into hot iron (for my Belgian iron I need about 1 ¼ cups of batter). Cook until golden brown. How long the waffle takes will depend on your iron, for my Presto Belgian iron it takes about 4 minutes. The first waffle is usually a test to judge how much batter to use and how long to cook.
• Serve warm, topped with butter and syrup, whipped cream and berries, or powdered sugar!

WAFFLE RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat waffle iron. Preheat oven to 225°F or set on warm setting (only if you want to keep waffles warm and crispy while cooking remaining waffles.) Place a rack on a large baking sheet and place inside the oven.
• In a large bowl, whisk together all purpose flour, sugar, salt baking powder and baking soda (if using). Set aside.
• In a medium bowl, combine room temperature milk, eggs, vanilla extract and melted (and cooled) butter. Whisk to combine.
• Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir just until combined. A few small lumps are fine. Let the waffle batter sit for 10 minutes.
• Grease waffle iron if needed with butter, oil or cooking spray (refer to product instructions if necessary) and scoop or ladle the batter onto the preheated waffle iron until batter is within ½ an inch from the edge. (I use about ¾ cup of batter for my iron.)
• Cook until golden brown and waffle iron indicates the waffle is ready. If your waffle iron doesn't have a light that goes off, keep an eye on the steam coming from the iron. When it is almost gone, check your waffle as that is in indication it is done cooking.
• Remove waffle from iron and serve with butter, maple syrup, berries and/or whipped cream. You can also keep warm by placing cooked waffles in the preheated oven on the rack while the rest of the waffles are cooked.
