Ingredients You'll Need:
This recipe is surprisingly simple, using ingredients you likely already have in your pantry. Here's what you need to create the perfect eggless waffle:
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar (adjust to your sweetness preference)
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 ¼ cups milk (any kind works!)
- 2 tablespoons melted unsalted butter (or oil, for vegan option)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional, but highly recommended!)
Step-by-Step Instructions:
Follow these simple steps to whip up a batch of fluffy, delicious eggless waffles:
1. Dry Ingredients: Combine and Conquer!
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. This ensures even distribution and prevents lumps in your batter.
2. Wet Ingredients: The Magic Mixture!
In a separate bowl, combine the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract (if using). Whisk gently until well combined.
3. Combining Wet and Dry: The Batter's Born!
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing; a few lumps are okay. Overmixing can lead to tough waffles.
4. Waffle Iron Prep: Get Ready to Cook!
Heat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions. Lightly grease the iron with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
5. Cooking Time: Golden Brown Perfection!
Pour about ½ cup of batter onto the hot waffle iron, spreading evenly. Cook until golden brown and crispy, usually around 3-5 minutes. Check your waffle iron's instructions for the ideal cooking time.
6. Serve and Enjoy: Time for a Treat!
Remove the cooked waffles from the iron and serve immediately. Enjoy your delicious, fluffy eggless waffles with your favorite toppings!
Delicious Topping Ideas:
- Classic: Butter and syrup (maple syrup is a favorite!)
- Fruity: Fresh berries, bananas, whipped cream
- Chocolatey: Chocolate chips, chocolate syrup, Nutella
- Savory: Cheese, bacon, ham, avocado
Tips for Perfect Eggless Waffles:
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing develops gluten, resulting in tough waffles.
- Let the batter rest: Allowing the batter to rest for 5-10 minutes before cooking helps the baking powder activate, resulting in fluffier waffles.
- Adjust sweetness: Adjust the sugar amount to your liking.
- Experiment with flavors: Add cinnamon, nutmeg, or other spices for a unique twist.
