The Ultimate Gluten Free Waffle Food

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.

GLUTEN-FREE WAFFLES

Steps:

• Combine the dry ingredients.
• Mix together the 1 1/2 cups milk and eggs; stir in the butter.
• Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients.
• Add additional milk until you get a batter a little thicker than pancake batter.
• Spread a ladleful or so of batter onto the waffle iron and bake until the waffle is done, usually 3 to 5 minutes, depending on your iron.
• (Mine whistles.) Serve immediately.
• Freeze leftovers in a plastic baggie with a sheet of wax paper in between each waffle.
• NOTE: My absolute favorite flour for waffles is"All-Purpose Celiac Flour" by Kinnikinnick (They are based in Canada. www. kinnikinnick. com) If ordering online isn't an option for you, try this flour blend: 2 cups White Rice Flour, 1 cup Potato Starch, 1/2 cup Tapioca Starch, 1-3/4 tsp Guar Gum.
• Use 2 cups for waffles.
• (I haven't tried this substitution, but based on the ingredient list on the package and with help from Bette Hagman's books, it sounds like a good bet.).

GLUTEN FREE WAFFLES

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients together with a whisk, and pour into waffle iron, in batches.
• Add a bit more milk if too thick or a bit of rice flour if too runny.
• Can be made without eggs, if necessary; just add a little more liquid to make up for them.
