How to make homemade waffles on gas
To start, we beat the egg yolk. Then we add sugar to the container and stir the resulting mixture well. After stirring the mixture well, we add a little vanilla essence. Then pour baking soda into the container. Baking soda will make your waffle golden.
When we have added all the ingredients, we add a glass of buttermilk to the waffle batter. Of course, you can get help from other types of milk. Next, after stirring the mixture, pour the melted butter into the container and stir again.
At this stage, you should sieve and then add the dry ingredients to make homemade waffles. Pour the wheat flour and baking powder into the sieve. At the same time, gently mix the flour and baking powder in the sieve. After the flour and baking powder are mixed, sift them and pour them into the waffle batter container. At this stage, you should not stir the batter too much, because with this, your waffle will taste like cardboard.
At this stage of how to prepare homemade waffles, you should stir the whites of the eggs so that they have a white and puffy color.
After mixing the egg white, pour it into the dough that you prepared in the second step and mix the resulting mixture slowly. When the egg white is properly added to the dish and has a uniform appearance, it can be used for the next step, i.e. cooking waffles on gas.
Cooking waffles on gas
At this stage of how to prepare homemade waffles, you need to heat the waffle mold on the gas. If you pour the waffle batter directly onto the waffle maker, it will eventually stick to the bottom of the pan. For this reason, you can grease the mold using a silicone brush or oil spray. If you use silicone waffle molds, you probably don’t need to do this, but your waffles will taste better.
After greasing the waffle maker mold, add the waffle batter to it. Spread the waffle batter well inside the mold and close the container. In preparing homemade waffles on gas, it is usually suggested that after closing the container, turn it back at the same moment so that the final shape of your waffle is better. Whichever method you use, after 2 minutes, turn the dish over.
The right color for the waffle should be golden, and when you have a golden waffle, you can take the waffle out of the mold.
What is the difference between waffles made with a waffle maker and an oven? It can be said that the only difference you will find in these two types of waffles is their appearance and the taste of these two are not different.
Waffles on gas
Necessary ingredients in how to prepare homemade waffles with oven
All-purpose flour (or any other type of flour) two cups
Two tablespoons of sugar
Two teaspoons of baking powder
A teaspoon of baking soda
Two eggs
Half a pint
A small amount of vanilla extract
Coconut oil or vegetable oil, a quarter cup
How to make homemade waffles with oven
1. Preparing homemade waffle batter
Preheat the oven to 218°C (425°F). Put the dry ingredients in a relatively large bowl.
In another bowl, add the eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla (optional) and stir the mixture. After mixing the ingredients well, add them to the dry ingredients and stir. Continue this until you have a smooth dough and the dry ingredients are well distributed throughout the dough.
Grease the waffle maker mold using oil spray. Of course, you can do this with a silicone brush and coconut oil. Pour the dough you prepared in the previous step into the mold and fill three-quarters. If you use gluten-free flour, you should not fill the mold more than half.
Put the mold in the oven for 12 to 15 minutes until the waffles become a golden color. In this case, if one side of your waffle is golden, the other side will be the same color. At this stage, you only need to turn the mold and eat the waffle. Necessary ingredients for making homemade waffles with a sandwich maker.
1.5 cups of milk (350 ml)
Two eggs
Two tablespoons of sugar
250 grams of flour
Half a teaspoon of baking powder
80 grams of melted butter (one-third of a cup)
Half a teaspoon of salt
How to make homemade waffles with a sandwich maker
1. Preparation of waffle dough
Mix flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar in a large bowl and make a hole in the center.
Separate the yolk from the white and mix the yolk, milk, and melted butter in a medium bowl and stir. Be careful not to overmix the ingredients at this stage. Do not insist that the dough is formed without any lumps of flour, a small amount is normal. Add the egg yolks slowly to the ingredients container.
Stir the egg whites until they are white and fluffy and add them to the dish. Try to do this slowly because there should be some air in the dough. The air in the batter makes the final waffle puffy and light.
Heat the sandwich maker. When it reaches the right temperature, grease the inside of the device with a little olive oil or melted butter. It is recommended to use a silicone brush to grease the dish. Next, slowly pour the dough into the machine.
After the dough is well spread inside the machine, close the door and wait for the steam to stop. This may take about 10 minutes. After this time, if the waffles are golden, you can transfer them to the dish and serve.
