FOOD, My recipes, Uncategorized HOMEMADE WAFFLES 25 March 2009

Decided to make some waffles from scratch, on a sunny Saturday morning. Nothing like a sweet American breakfast sometimes πŸ™‚ We actually haven’t made waffles before, usually just stick to pancakes and fry-ups of bacon/sausage/eggs/etc. I’m VERY particular about my waffles – I don’t like almost all the ones I’ve ordered in restaurants. I specifically like ’em a little crisp on the outside, but very moist on the inside. Somehow, Australian cafes just CAN’T make waffles, I don’t think I’ve ever discovered a place that made them properly. Same can probably be said for Shanghai.. and even if there was an American joint here that did it, they’d charge an arm and a leg for it.

Thing is, the ingredients cost a mere few cents – quite literally. Have a look at the recipe below – most of the ingredients you can probably already find at home! It’s also a cinch to make, the only annoying part is waiting the few mins whilst it cooks in the waffle maker, because the smell DRIVES YOU CRAAAAZY! πŸ˜› An awesome way to wake up in the morning, and also have your significant other hopping around in excitement and then declaring you the best thing ever. Well worth it πŸ˜‰


Mix 2 egg yolks, 1 3/4 cups milk, 1/2 cup canola oil, 1 tsp vanilla essence

Mix in sifted 1 3/4 cups plain flour, 1 tsp baking powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt, until just combined

Beat 2 egg whites until stiff peaks form

Fold in gently, do not overmix

Pour batter into waffle maker and clamp shut for a few minutes until golden brown

Fresh, hot waffles! Served with bananas and maple syrup

Lightly crisp on the outside, moist and soft on the inside.. mmmm….

OMG! I’m so adding this to my memories. And I am so buying a waffle-maker for myself! Then I can stop buying from the local Prima Deli shop already. Haha.
