Best 7 Crispy Crunchy 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.

THE VERY BEST CRISPY WAFFLES

• Make a shallow well in the dry ingredients and add buttermilk, vegetable oil, egg, and vanilla, and stir together until just combined.
• Allow batter to sit for 30 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 200°F and set a baking sheet inside to place the waffle(s) on after cooking to keep warm while you cook the rest of the batter.*
• Preheat waffle iron and cook batter according to your iron's instructions*, typically 4 to 6 minutes per waffle, until waffle is nicely golden and has mostly stopped releasing steam. Waffle may not initially seem crispy to the touch, but will crisp up out of the waffle maker.
• Top with melted butter and syrup if desired, and enjoy!

CRISPY, CHEESY POTATO WAFFLES

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Prick potatoes several times with a fork and place onto a baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until potatoes are easily pierced with a fork, 50 minutes to 1 hour. Remove from the oven and set aside until cool enough to handle.
• Preheat a nonstick waffle iron for medium heat according to manufacturer's instructions.
• Scoop potato flesh into a large bowl with butter, milk, salt, onion powder, garlic powder, and pepper; mash until creamy. Stir in Cheddar cheese until evenly distributed. Discard potato skins.
• Place some potato mixture in the preheated waffle iron; do not cover the entire surface. Close the iron and the batter will spread out. Cook until brown and crispy, about 5 minutes. Repeat with remaining batter.

CRISP CHOCOLATE CHIP WAFFLES

CRUNCHY DELICIOUS WAFFLES

Steps:

• In a large bowl whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
• In another bowl whisk together eggs, butter (the more butter you use the crunchier they'll be, I find that 8 tbsp is perfect), and milk.
• Warm melted butter may separate into flaky clumps when mixed with milk. I just stick it in the microwave for 1 minute then stir and the lumps will go away.
• Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the egg/milk mixture.
• Gently whisk together just until combined.
• Baking time and amount of batter will depend on your individual waffle maker. I use about a cup of batter for 2 waffles and mine take about 3 1/2 minutes to bake. I like to bake mine until they are a dark golden brown. Cooking spray usually isn't needed if you use 8 tbsp or more butter in the batter.
