Crispy Crunchy Waffles Food

CLASSIC CRISPY WAFFLES

Steps:

• Preheat a waffle iron to medium-high. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F (to keep cooked waffles warm). Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Whisk together the milk, butter, shortening and eggs in another bowl. Pour the milk mixture into the flour mixture and gently stir until just incorporated (it's okay if there are some lumps).
• Lightly brush the top and bottom of the waffle iron with butter. Fill the waffle iron about three-quarters of the way full (some waffle iron should still be showing). Close the lid gently and cook until the waffles are golden brown and crisp, 6 to 7 minutes. Keep the cooked waffles warm in the oven or covered with foil on a plate while you make the remaining waffles.
• Serve with maple syrup, butter, sugar or fruit preserves.

THE BEST BUTTERMILK WAFFLES

Steps:

• Preheat a waffle iron to medium-high.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs and vanilla. Whisk the buttermilk mixture into the flour mixture until a batter is formed. Whisk in the butter until incorporated, being careful not to overmix the batter.
• Spray both sides of the preheated waffle iron with nonstick cooking spray. Pour in enough batter to lightly cover the surface of the iron, about 1/3 to 3/4 cup, depending on its size. (Take into consideration that the batter will spread once the lid is closed.) Close the iron and cook until the waffles are a deep golden brown and slightly crisp, about 5 minutes. Repeat with the remaining batter. (If the waffle iron has a well-seasoned or nonstick surface, it may not be necessary to spray it between each batch.)
• Serve the waffles immediately with butter, syrup, jam, berries or yogurt.

CRISP AND AIRY GLUTEN-FREE WAFFLES

Steps:

• Preheat a waffle iron to medium-high. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F (to keep cooked waffles warm). Whisk together the rice flour, chickpea flour, tapioca flour, sugar, baking powder, vanilla and salt in a large bowl. Whisk together the milk, oil and egg yolks in another bowl. Beat the egg whites in a third bowl until soft peaks form, about 3 minutes.
• Pour the milk mixture into the rice flour mixture and gently stir until just incorporated (it's ok if there are some lumps). Fold in the egg whites.
• Lightly brush the top and bottom of the waffle iron with oil. Fill the waffle iron about three-quarters of the way full (some waffle iron should still be showing). Close the lid gently and cook until the waffles are golden brown and crisp, 6 to 7 minutes. Keep the cooked waffles warm in the oven or covered with foil on a plate while you make the remaining waffles.
• Serve with butter and maple syrup.

CRISPY, CRUNCHY WAFFLES

Steps:

• Use a whisk to combine the dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl.
• Separate eggs,leaving the whites in a bowl where you can beat them easily.
• In a separate bowl,beat egg yolks until frothy and add oil and milk.
• Combine with flour mixture;add lemon rind,if desired.
• Beat egg whites until stiff peaks form,then fold into batter.
• Bake until crisp in a hot waffle iron.

EASY WAFFLES

Steps:

• Preheat waffle iron according to manufacturer's instructions. In a large bowl, whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt; set aside.
• In a small bowl, whisk milk and eggs; pour over flour mixture, and whisk gently to combine (don't overmix). Gently whisk in butter.
• Following manufacturer's instructions, cook waffles until deep brown and crisp. (For a standard waffle iron, pour a generous 1/2 cup of batter into center, spreading to within 1/2 inch of edges, and close; waffle will cook in 2 to 3 minutes.) Serve warm, with maple syrup and butter, as desired.

SWEDISH CRISP WAFFLES (FRASVAFFLOR)

Steps:

• Preheat a waffle iron according to manufacturer's instructions.
• Sift flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder together in a bowl. Whisk in milk, butter, and heavy cream; stir in soda.
• Cook in batches in the preheated waffle iron until waffles are golden brown and the iron stops steaming, about 5 minutes.

CRUNCHY DELICIOUS WAFFLES

Steps:

• In a large bowl whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
• In another bowl whisk together eggs, butter (the more butter you use the crunchier they'll be, I find that 8 tbsp is perfect), and milk.
• Warm melted butter may separate into flaky clumps when mixed with milk. I just stick it in the microwave for 1 minute then stir and the lumps will go away.
• Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the egg/milk mixture.
• Gently whisk together just until combined.
• Baking time and amount of batter will depend on your individual waffle maker. I use about a cup of batter for 2 waffles and mine take about 3 1/2 minutes to bake. I like to bake mine until they are a dark golden brown. Cooking spray usually isn't needed if you use 8 tbsp or more butter in the batter.

BELGIAN-STYLE YEAST WAFFLES

Steps:

• Combine all the ingredients in a large bowl, leaving room for expansion; the mixture will bubble and grow.
• Stir to combine; it's fine if the mixture isn't perfectly smooth.
• Cover with plastic wrap and let rest at room temperature for 1 hour; the mixture will begin to bubble. You can cook the waffles at this point or refrigerate the batter overnight to cook waffles the next day.
• Preheat your waffle iron. Spray with nonstick vegetable oil spray, and pour ⅔ to ¾ cup batter (or the amount recommended by the manufacturer) onto the center of the iron. Close the lid and bake for the recommended amount of time, until the waffle is golden brown, about 5 to 6 minutes on a standard 7" Belgian-style (deep-pocket) waffle iron.
• Serve immediately.

LIGHT, CRISP WAFFLES

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 200°F and heat the waffle iron.
• Mix the flour, cornstarch, salt, baking powder, and baking soda in a medium bowl.
• Measure the buttermilk, milk, and vegetable oil in a Pyrex measuring cup; mix in the egg yolk and set aside.
• In another bowl, beat the egg white almost to soft peaks. Sprinkle in the sugar and continue to beat until the peaks are firm and glossy. Beat in the vanilla.
• Pour the buttermilk mixture into the dry ingredients and whisk until just mixed.
• Drop the whipped egg white onto the batter in dollops and fold in with a spatula until just incorporated.
• Pour the batter onto the hot waffle iron and cook until the waffle is crisp and nutty brown (follow the manufacturer's instructions for timing at first and then adjust to your liking).
• Set the waffle directly on the oven rack to keep it warm and crisp.
• Repeat with the remaining batter, holding the waffles in the oven (don't stack them).
