 If you're looking for great tips on how to make homemade waffles so chock full of deliciousness that they would make even the Eggo VIPs and Belgian connoisseurs come running to you for advice, then you have come to the right place. To rid yourself of the breakfast time blues, you will need a quality recipe and a few directives on waffle assembly methods. After reading this article, you should be able to craft waffles so delectable that Mrs. Butterworth will be dashing to top them.
A key component to creating an all-star waffle is making sure that the batter is handled properly. One of the essential ingredients is a half a tablespoon of oil. If you stumble across a recipe that happens to be oil-free, steer clear. Regardless of whether you prefer your waffles with a crispier consistency or you rather them more on the fluffy side, the addition of oil is essential. Furthermore, the batter should be manhandled with care. It is important to treat the batter tenderly while stirring it because overzealous beating will allot for tough and chewy waffles. Be vigilant to only stir the batter until the dry ingredients have been moistened. It's OK if there are a few lumps because once the waffles have been cooked, the lumps won't matter.
Next, for truly outstanding waffles, it is necessary to add sugar, vanilla, and egg whites to the batter. In most recipes, neither sugar nor vanilla is listed among the ingredients, but for a little "je ne sais quoi" enhancement to your waffles, add just a soupcon of the sweet stuff. As far as the eggs go, the yolks are optional, but in order to create light waffles, beaten egg whites are a must. The egg whites should be beaten until they are the texture of whipped cream and they should then be gently folded into the batter.
The last tip involves the use of the waffle iron. Turning the iron on should be the very first waffle-related thing that you do. If the iron is turned on too close to go-time, it will not have had a chance to properly heat, and the waffles will wind up weighty and flat. You should allow your iron to heat for at least ten minutes before beginning to pour the batter over the griddle. Also, instead of using cooking spray on your waffle iron, you should use a basting brush or paper towel to lightly spread vegetable oil (solid Crisco works best) over the griddle's surface. This tactic will allow your waffle iron to have a longer life expectancy along with creating a superior crust on your waffle.
So now, if you follow the aforementioned tips about creating the perfect waffle batter with all of the right additives, and you are attentive to using your waffle iron correctly, you should have no trouble at all whipping up the best batch of waffles that you've ever tasted.
