WAFFLES



Waffles image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 50m

Yield about 6 waffles

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 3/4 teaspoons baking powder
1/8 teaspoon fine salt
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 1/2 cups milk, at room temperature
2 large eggs, at room temperature, separated
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted, plus more for brushing the iron
1 large egg white, at room temperature
1/4 cup sugar
Serving suggestions: Maple syrup, jam, fresh fruit, or yogurt

Steps:

  • Preheat a waffle iron to medium-high.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the milk, egg yolks, vanilla, and 1/4 cup melted butter. Whisk the milk mixture into the flour mixture until a batter is formed. Take care not to over mix the batter. In medium bowl, with a hand-held electric mixer or whisk, whip the 3 egg whites until they just begin to hold a loose peak. Scatter the sugar over the whites and continue beating until they hold a soft peak. Using a rubber spatula, fold a third of the egg whites into the batter to lighten the base. Fold in the remaining whites.
  • Brush the inside surface of the iron with butter. Pour in enough batter to lightly cover the surface of the iron, about 1/3 to 3/4 cup, depending upon the size of the iron. (Take into consideration that the batter will spread once the lid is closed.) Cover and cook until golden brown and slightly crisp, about 5 minutes. Repeat with the remaining batter. (If the waffle iron is well seasoned or nonstick it is not necessary to brush the inner surface each time before cooking the waffles.)
  • Serve the waffles immediately with syrup, jam, fresh fruit, or yogurt.

BATTER FOR WAFFLES



Batter for Waffles image

Provided by Susan Herrmann Loomis

Categories     Dairy     Egg     Quick & Easy

Yield Makes batter for about ten 4- by 4-inch waffles

Number Of Ingredients 6

5 large eggs, separated
1/4 cup sugar (optional)
1 cup (250 milliliters) milk
Sea salt
2 cups (270 grams) all-purpose flour
4 tablespoons (60 grams) unsalted butter, melted and cooled

Steps:

  • 1. Whisk the egg yolks and the sugar (if using) then whisk in the milk and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Whisk in the flour quickly to make a smooth batter, then quickly whisk in the melted butter. Whisk the egg whites with a pinch of salt to soft points, and fold them into the batter.
  • Let the batter sit for 1 hour, then make the waffles following the waffle iron manufacturer's directions. The batter will keep very well overnight.

Tips:

  • Use the right ingredients: Make sure you have all the necessary ingredients and that they are fresh. Use high-quality flour, baking powder, sugar, and eggs. If you are using buttermilk, make sure it is fresh and not sour.
  • Follow the recipe carefully: Don't skip any steps or ingredients. Make sure you measure the ingredients correctly and follow the instructions step-by-step.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the waffles tough. Mix the batter until just combined and no more.
  • Let the batter rest: Letting the batter rest for a few minutes before cooking will help it to thicken and produce lighter waffles.
  • Use a hot waffle iron: Preheat your waffle iron to the desired temperature before cooking the waffles. This will help to ensure that the waffles cook evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the waffle iron: Don't put too much batter in the waffle iron at once. This will make the waffles thick and dense.
  • Cook the waffles until they are golden brown: Cook the waffles until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside. This will ensure that they are cooked through.

Conclusion:

Making waffles is a great way to start your day or enjoy a special breakfast or brunch. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create delicious and fluffy waffles that the whole family will love. Experiment with different recipes and toppings to find your favorite combination. Waffles are a versatile dish that can be enjoyed with a variety of toppings, from classic butter and syrup to fresh fruit, whipped cream, or ice cream.
