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
- Preheat Waffle Iron: Begin by preheating your waffle iron to ensure it reaches the right temperature for cooking the waffles evenly.
- 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.
- 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.
- Incorporate Eggs: Add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition to maintain a consistent batter.
- 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.
- Remove and Serve: Carefully lift the waffles out using a fork and transfer to a plate. Enjoy immediately for the best texture and flavor.
- 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.
