Description

These perfectly crispy and chewy mochi waffles combine the unique texture of mochiko (sweet rice flour) with the classic waffle format for a delightful twist on breakfast or brunch. Crispy on the outside yet tender and chewy on the inside, these waffles are easy to prepare and a guaranteed crowd-pleaser.


Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cups mochiko (sweet rice flour)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups whole milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 eggs


Instructions

  1. Preheat Waffle Iron: Begin by preheating your waffle iron to ensure it reaches the right temperature for cooking the waffles evenly.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium-sized mixing bowl with a pourable spout, whisk together the all-purpose flour, mochiko, salt, sugar, baking powder, and cornstarch until evenly combined.
  3. Add Milk and Vanilla: Pour in the whole milk and vanilla extract, then whisk the mixture thoroughly until it’s smooth and free of lumps.
  4. Incorporate Eggs: Add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition to maintain a consistent batter.
  5. Cook Waffles: Pour the batter into the preheated waffle iron. Close the lid and cook for about 4 minutes if you’re using a Belgian waffle iron, or approximately 3 minutes for a smaller waffle iron, until the waffles are golden and crispy.
  6. Remove and Serve: Carefully lift the waffles out using a fork and transfer to a plate. Enjoy immediately for the best texture and flavor.
  7. Store Leftovers: If you have leftover waffles, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven to restore crispiness before serving.

Notes

  • Using a Belgian waffle iron will result in thicker, fluffier waffles with deeper pockets.
  • Ensure the waffle iron is fully preheated to achieve a crispy exterior.
  • Leftover waffles can freeze well; reheat in a toaster or oven for best results.
  • Adjust cooking times slightly depending on the wattage and type of your waffle iron.
  • You can substitute whole milk with any milk alternative if desired, though texture may vary slightly.
