Crispy Waffles {perfect with whole grain flour}
Servings: 7 waffles
Ingredients
DRY
- 3 cups flour whole grain or a combination of whole grain and all-purpose, I use eikorn or spelt
- 3 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 4 tablespoons sugar
WET
- 2 eggs
- 2.5 cups warm milk
- 8 tablespoons butter melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Pre-heat Belgian waffle maker (I use this one)
- Whisk dry ingredients in a large bowl.
- Whisk wet ingredients in a medium bowl (I whisk eggs first, then add milk, butter and vanilla).
- Add wet ingredients to the dry (it's easier to combine than the other way around). Another tip is add half the wet ingredients first, create a paste, then add the rest, it will ensure that you don't have any dry bits. Mix gently to combine, don't over mix. It's okay to have some lumps. The batter will be fairly liquid.
- Cook according to the manufacturer's instructions (I pour just under one cup of batter and use setting 4.5).
- If not serving immediately, keep the waffles on the rack in a 200ºF oven until ready to serve.
Notes
These crispy waffles freeze really well.
This is by far my favorite recipe for 100% whole grain waffles.
On these photos I used half whole grain spelt flour and half all-purpose spelt flour.
When I make crispy waffles with whole grain flour only, I use either all spelt or combination of spelt and einkorn. Whole grain einkorn alone makes waffles a bit crumbly and fragile.
I started using this ratio recently and just love it: 2 cups whole grain spelt flour and 1 cup of oat bran flour - delicious and wholesome! I get this brand at local Whole Foods.
