Most of you may already know this if you are in my Facebook list but here’s the formal announcement – I bought a KitchenAid
I wanted to use it the first day of the year (don’t ask me why!) and decided to make waffle batter in it. Waffles are one of my favourite foods of all time and I have owned a waffle iron for a while but don’t make it as often as I’d like.
I should though. In fact, I should make waffles for dinner, that’s what I should do.
Basic Easy Waffles Recipe
Adapted from 3 Many Cooks
Makes 6
INGREDIENTS:
1 egg, separated
1 cup buttermilk (I used 1/2 cup homemade yogurt mixed with 1/2 cup water)
1 cup plain flour
2 tbsp sugar (adjust to taste or omit completely)
1/2 tbsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
2 tbsp cooking oil (I used olive oil)
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. You don’t need a stand mixer for this but if you do, just dunk in the following ingredients and mix it up on speed 2 for 1-2 mins. If you don’t, just do the same with your hand whisk in a bowl. First add the flour and sugar..
2. Followed by the buttermilk..
3. Egg yolk..
4. Baking powder and baking soda..
5. Salt..
6. And oil..
7. Mix mix mix for about 2 mins or so on low speed. Then set aside.
8. Now you need to beat the egg whites until stiff. I used my hand-held whisk for this.
9. Whip well until soft peaks form on the top of the beaten egg whites.
10. Add to the batter you’ve prepared and fold in gently without over-mixing.
11. Heat your waffle iron until smoking hot.
12. Add about 1/4 to 1/2 cup batter to the iron depending on the size of your iron. Remove when golden brown all over – mine took about 3 mins.
I know there are 12 steps up there for a simple waffle recipe but its because I took very detailed pictures to show the steps. Its really a very easy and yummy breakfast to make so go ahead, buy that waffle iron if you don’t have one already (Huge thanks to Darsh for lugging mine all the way from the US) Even if you use it only once or twice a month like I do, its still worth it.
It was too early in the morning so I slightly burnt my waffles. But you still think I’m a decent cook right? Thanks! I knew confessing to you all would be totally safe 🙂 Serve with a dusting of icing sugar or maple syrup to camouflage the burnt parts 😉
After soooo many months, I finally made these ! Actually soon after you posted this. we made a trip outside India where my son tasted waffles for the first time, with strawberries and maple syrup.. and he was hooked. He was begging me to make it at home. So began the search for a waffle iron. To Anjoo, who wanted to know abt waffle makers, Morphy Richards makes a sandwich maker cum waffle maker.. Rs.2995. But I already have a toaster so didnt want to waste money… I had my sister in law lug one from U.S. when she went visiting her daughter :). Coming to the point… I made these yesterday and they were " better than at the restaurant" in my sons words.
A keeper. Especially since the portion is perfect… the other recipes I looked at were like huge portions.
The taste was great ! Thanks !
I'm fairly salivating! I totally love waffles. Have you tried it with sliced strawberries and vanilla ice cream? It's heavenly.
Very nice start to the New Year! and I totally get having to use it on New Year's day – cant be explained!
I have never tasted waffles[sounds odd,huh?] and didn't think twice while opting for a gift card rather than the waffle iron[you would know!].Looks really tempting though..love the first pic!!
And like many people,I am so JJJJ of your KA!!
Hi Nags, Ur a wonderful cook. Ur cooking cannot be judged through a burnt waffle. My cooking has improved by following ur site. Thanks
yummm!!
Waffles look very yummy… I do make waffles at home, because my son love them..but do not have a Kitchen Aid… Anyways I am trying to buy one.. It will be nice if you suggest which one to buy..How much did this cost for u.. from where did u buy this. What are the attachments?? Is it possible to make icecream with this??? Hope u don't mind answering these questions.. Thanks in advance…
Kavita, you are too kind, that really made my day 🙂
Anjoo, I am really not sure if waffles makers are available in Chennai. They probably are but may not be easy to spot out where.
Thanks for complimenting my nails 😀 They are super hard and grow very fast. But ironically I have calcium deficiency and need to take supplements 😀 hehe..
Hey,
Beautiful waffles…:)
