Crispy Waffle Recipe
Description
The recipe starts with a dry mix of flour, cornstarch, sugar, baking powder, and salt which helps achieve waffles that hold their shape and crisp well. Wet ingredients of milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla are mixed in to form a smooth batter that produces tender waffles with a balanced sweetness and subtle vanilla aroma.
Cooking the batter in a preheated waffle maker ensures golden brown waffles with crispy edges. Transferring cooked waffles to a warm oven on a rack helps evaporate steam, enhancing crispness. The waffles have a firm but tender texture, suitable for a breakfast or brunch offering.
About six large waffles can be made from this batter. The crisp exterior pairs well with syrup, fruit toppings, or spreads while the soft crumb inside provides a pleasant bite.
Ingredients
- 2 ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup cornstarch
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 ½ tablespoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups milk 2% or whole
- 2 egg large
- ½ cup butter or oil, melted
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat a waffle maker to high heat. Set the oven on 200 degrees F. Set a baking sheet, with a rack on it, in the oven to hold and warm the waffles.
- Meanwhile, in a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, cornstarch, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk well.
- Then mix in the milk, eggs, melted butter and vanilla. Stir until the mixture is very smooth.
- Once the waffle maker is very hot, add approximately ½ cup batter (for a large Belgium-style waffle) and cook for 3 ½ minutes undisturbed.
- Open and remove the waffle when the exterior is golden-brown. Move the waffle to the warm oven and repeat with the remaining batter.
- Once all the waffles are cooked, let them rest in the oven for another 5 minutes to continue to dry and crisp.
Notes
- Use the warm oven with a rack to dry waffles after cooking for extra crispness.
- This recipe yields about 6 large Belgium-style waffles or 8 to 10 smaller waffles.
