Light Crisp Waffles Recipes

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.

LIGHT 'N' CRISPY WAFFLES

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the biscuit mix, eggs and oil. Add club soda and stir until smooth. , Bake in a preheated waffle iron according to manufacturer's directions until golden brown.

Or, microwave each waffle on high for 30-60 seconds or until heated through.

LIGHT AND CRISPY WAFFLES

Steps:

• Whisk together the flour, cornstarch, salt, baking powder, baking soda, and sugar in a large bowl.
• In a separate bowl, whisk the buttermilk, oil, and vanilla extract.
• For the lightest waffles, separate the egg. Whisk the egg yolk into the milk mixture. If you do not plan on separating the egg, whisk the whole egg into the milk mixture.
• If you separate the egg, add the egg white to another bowl, use a handheld mixer to beat until stiff, and then set aside.
• Whisk the milk mixture into the dry ingredients until only small lumps are left. Switch to a rubber spatula and gently fold in the whipped egg whites.
• Set the batter aside for five to ten minutes while preparing the waffle iron.
• Heat the waffle iron to the highest heat setting.
• Cook waffles until golden and crisp, adding enough batter to the waffle iron to fill the entire lower grid. If the waffles look too dark, turn the heat down slightly.
• Serve the waffles immediately or keep them warm and crispy on a rack in a 200°F oven until ready to serve. Stacking them outside the oven will cause them to steam and become floppy.

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 (mine takes about 2/3 cup) 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). When all the waffles are cooked, serve immediately.
• For Whole-Grain Waffles: Add 1/4 cup wheat germ to the dry ingredients.
• For Chocolate Chip Waffles: Stir 1/2 cup coarsely chopped chocolate chips (or 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips) into the batter.
• For Cornmeal Waffles: Substitute 1/2 cup cornmeal for 1/2 cup of the flour (keep the cornstarch).
• For Cranberry Orange Waffles: Stir 2 teaspoons finely grated orange zest and 1/2 cup coarsely chopped dried cranberries into the batter.

VERY TASTY CRISPY WAFFLES!

Steps:

• Firstly switch on your waffle machine to heat it up. Note: all spoon measurements were level.
• Put all of the ingredients, except the melted butter, into a mixing bowl and whisk together to make a smooth, thick batter, being careful to make sure there are no lumps. An electric whisk works best.
• Melt your butter in a small dish, you will use this to coat the waffle plates to stop the batter from sticking.
• Once your waffle machine has reached the correct temperature brush on a little of the melted butter to the top and bottom plates of your machine then carefully spoon the batter onto your waffle maker and spread out with a knife if needed, be careful not to overload the machine. Then follow the instructions on your machine to cook your waffles till crisp and golden. Top with your favourite filling and enjoy!

THE VERY BEST CRISPY WAFFLES

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk together flour, corn starch, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
• Make a shallow well in the dry ingredients and add buttermilk, vegetable oil, egg, and vanilla, and stir together until just combined.
• Allow batter to sit for 30 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 200°F and set a baking sheet inside to place the waffle(s) on after cooking to keep warm while you cook the rest of the batter.*
• Preheat waffle iron and cook batter according to your iron's instructions*, typically 4 to 6 minutes per waffle, until waffle is nicely golden and has mostly stopped releasing steam. Waffle may not initially seem crispy to the touch, but will crisp up out of the waffle maker.
• Top with melted butter and syrup if desired, and enjoy!

LIGHT-N-CRISP WAFFLES

Steps:

• Beat all ingredients, except egg whites, until smooth.
• Gently fold in beaten whites by hand.
• Using 1/2 cup batter at a time, cook on waffle iron as directed.

LIGHT, CRISP WAFFLES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C). Preheat your waffle iron.
• In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, cornstarch, salt, baking powder and baking soda. Combine the milk, buttermilk and oil in a measuring cup. Whisk in the egg yolk with a fork, and set aside. In a small bowl, beat egg white with an electric mixer until almost soft peaks. Gradually sprinkle in the sugar, while continuing to whip until thick and glossy. Stir in vanilla.
• Pour the milk mixture into the dry ingredients, and whisk just until blended. Fold in the egg white using a spatula.
• Pour batter onto the hot waffle iron in the recommended amount for your iron. My waffle iron takes a generous 1/2 cup. Close the iron, and cook until golden brown. A good indication that it is getting close is that the steam will stop coming out of the iron. Keep finished waffles in the warm oven directly on the rack. Do not stack, or they will become soggy.
