Everybody loves waffles. Here's a quick and easy waffle recipe<\/strong> made from ingredients you most likely already have, but you will need to invest in a waffle maker or a waffle iron to make these.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Plate<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The ingredients for most waffles are pretty much the same: flour, eggs, leavening agents<\/a> (usually baking powder<\/a>, though sometimes yeast), milk, sugar, and a little fat (oil or melted butter usually). Sometimes you might add vanilla for flavour, or some spices. You may bake with whole-grain flours to make multi-grain waffles<\/a> or all-purpose flour. Still, the basic recipes are often very similar. This sourdough discard waffle recipe<\/a> includes leftover sourdough starter, yielding a tender waffle with crispy edges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Ingredients<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Although the ingredients from one recipe to another are pretty much the same, the mixing method<\/a> to make the batter is where you will notice signficant differences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some recipes will have you use the two-bowl method, known as the muffin method, where all the wet ingredients are mixed in one bowl and the dry ingredients in another bowl before combining the two. It's that easy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Actually, you could bypass the second bowl and mix everything in one bowl. Nobody will notice the difference! Start with a big bowl and combine all the dry ingredients. Make a well in the center and pour all the wet ingredients into the well, mixing the ingredients in the well first before incorporating the flour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Waffle<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

While chemical leaveners and water are responsible for much of the rise in waffles, some recipes will go to the trouble of separating the egg yolks from the whites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The yolks get mixed with the other wet ingredients, while the whites are beaten until firm peaks form. An extra step to mechanically incorporate more air into the whites before folding them into the batter. Some claim this step is essential. I am indifferent on the subject, and quite frankly, I just want waffles and I don't feel like whipping egg whites in the morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Plain<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The number one trick for making waffles is using a good waffle maker. I use a very old waffle maker from the '90s. It gets the job done though you can see from my photos that the heat is uneven at times. If I were to replace it with something affordable, the Cuisinart<\/a> has the best reviews on Amazon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are looking to invest and want to make waffles often, I highly suggest the Breville waffle maker<\/a> which is equipped with a moat on the sides: this way you can overfill the waffle maker with batter, making sure that you cook big, thick waffles, without wasting the excess batter, which flows down the moat allowing you to reuse the leftovers. I got to play with this model once on a photoshoot and I was blown away. Plus it makes 4 waffles at a time! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Breville waffle maker makes Belgian-style, square waffles that are very thick. This means it requires more batter than most basic waffle makers. You will have to double or triple the batter to have enough if you want to make a big batch of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Variations And Serving Suggestions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you just want to throw together some batter and make a batch of plain waffles, this is the recipe for you because it's very easy. Feel free to jazz it up by dropping some berries over the batter before closing the lid! I've added cranberries to this recipe to make cranberry waffles to serve with eggnog cr\u00e8me anglaise<\/a> over the holidays. These cheese waffles<\/a> have shredded cheddar mixed into the batter.<\/p>\n\n\n
