In this video, Tristan Blash, one of Mahalo's expert chefs, shows you how to make waffles.
Ingredients
- 2 cups flour
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 3 tbsp sugar
- 3 eggs, separated
- 2 oz unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cups buttermilk, room temperature
Equipment
- Mixing bowl
- Wooden spoon
- Non-stick cooking spray
- Waffle iron
Step 1: Make the Waffle Batter
- Combine the dry ingredients
- Whisk together the egg yolks, melted butter, and buttermilk.
- Beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
- Add the egg yolk mixture to the dry ingredients, whisking until smooth.
- Fold in the egg whites to the waffle batter.
Step 2: Cook the Waffles
- Preheat the waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.
- Spoon the waffle batter onto the waffle iron. The amount you'll use will vary depending on the waffle iron, but is usually around a third of a cup.
- Cook until the waffle is brown and separates easily from the waffle iron. The waffle iron may have a light that indicates when the waffle is done,. You'll notice less steam escaping from the waffle as it cooks.
- Some waffle irons need to be flipped. Total cooking time will range from 2-4 minutes per waffle.
- Serve with butter and maple syrup.
