Pumpkin soup
The key to achieving that satisfyingly crispy exterior is to make sure that your iron is hot. Brushing the iron with butter before adding the batter will also take your crispy game to the next level.
There could be a few reasons. Our first tip is to start baking as soon as you've made the batter and the baking powder is at its most active. Also check the type of flour you use. Avoid anything with a high protein/gluten content (good old plain flour is your best bet). For extra fluffy waffles, separate your eggs and, using a handheld mixer, whip the whites until stiff. After mixing the wet and dry ingredients, fold the whites into the batter with a rubber spatula and thank us later.
The perfect consistency is like honey (not as thin as water and not as thick as dough).
As with most baked goods, you don't want to experiment too much with the recipe. Don't let this put a damper on your creativity though. Chocolate chips, a handful of blueberries or lemon and orange zest are all great additions that will completely transform the flavour profile.
Keep an eye on the steam coming from your waffle maker. When the steam stops, your waffle is cooked through.
If you're looking for crispy, fluffy, and scrumptious waffles, this recipes has it all. Best enjoyed straight from the iron, you won't need much more than a dollop of whipped cream and jam or syrup to transport yourself to the happiest of all happy places.
This much-loved dessert can be traced all the way back to ancient Greece where they were called obelios or flat cakes. As they started to travel across the rest of Europe, they became sweeter and fluffier as honey, sugar, and rising agents made their way into the recipe. Fast forward to 15th Century Netherlands, the batter made it onto rectangular plates with grids and the waffle we know today was born.
The sky is the limit when it comes to transforming the humble waffle from breakfast-favorite to star of the dessert table. Serving individual heart shaped portions, pre-topped with a dollop of cream, jam and sprig of mint makes for a beautiful presentation that is easy to enjoy as a finger-food. For the more relaxed do, delight your guests with a do-it-yourself waffle buffet. Incorporate as many topping options as you like, from ice cream, fresh fruits and jams to chocolate sauces, sprinkles and chopped nuts.
