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 the waffle iron: Begin by heating your waffle iron to ensure it is ready when the batter is prepared.
- Combine dry ingredients: In a medium-sized mixing bowl with a pourable spout, whisk together all-purpose flour, mochiko (sweet rice flour), salt, granulated sugar, baking powder, and cornstarch until evenly combined.
- Mix wet ingredients: Add the whole milk and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients and whisk until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
- Add eggs: Crack in one egg at a time, whisking thoroughly after each addition until the batter is fully smooth and homogeneous.
- Cook the waffles: Pour the batter into the preheated waffle iron, closing the lid. Cook the batter for approximately 4 minutes if using a Belgian waffle iron, or 3 minutes if using a smaller waffle iron, until waffles are crispy and cooked through.
- Serve and enjoy: Carefully remove the waffles using a fork to avoid damage, and plate them immediately for the best texture and warmth.
- Store leftovers: Place any leftover waffles in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm them in the oven to restore crispness for best results.
Notes
- For best texture, use a Belgian waffle iron for thicker waffles or a smaller waffle iron for thinner ones.
- Warm leftover waffles in the oven rather than the microwave to maintain crispiness.
- You can substitute whole milk with a non-dairy milk alternative, but it may slightly alter the texture.
- Ensure the waffle iron is well-preheated for even cooking and a crispy exterior.
- Gently remove waffles to prevent tearing or sticking.
