Servings: 10x 3" Waffles

  • 130g Flour
  • 1/2 T Baking Powder
  • Pinch of Salt
Stir together Flour, Baking Powder, Salt.
  • 1 Yolk
  • 185g Milk
  • 1/4 C (appx. 50g) Oil, plus extra for greasing
Beat Egg Yolk.

Add Milk and Oil to Egg Yolk, whisk together until foamy.

Add Egg mix to Flour mix and stir until combined and homogeneous.
  • 1 Egg White
Beat Egg White in a large bowl until white and forms hard peaks.
  • Oil, for greasing
  • Waffle Irons
Heat Waffle Irons to medium, brush with oil, and ladle in batter.

Cook 3-5min depending on size of waffle and desired crispness.

Cook 3-4min if consuming immediately.

Cooked waffles should be golden-brown, crisp, and barely firm.

Variations

Freeze your waffles: Cook each waffle a little less, nearer 3-min rather than 4min. The waffles should be straw-yellow to pale-gold.

Chef's Notes

A fully-cooked waffle, fresh out of the irons should be about the same tenderness as the pad of your index finger.

If left, they will firm-up over the next couple of minutes as they cool and dry.


Use a fork to gently encourage the sides of the waffle to release from the irons, then transfer to a cloth or cooling rack while working on the next batch.


Try substituting neutral oil for melted, salted butter. Yum!

If using butter or butter + oil to grease irons, the waffles will colour sooner than with just oil, but will still need the full time to cook through.
