Equipment
- Belgian Waffle Iron
- Large Bowl
- whisk
- 1/3 cup measuring scoop
- Cooking oil spray
Ingredients
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1/4 cup melted butter *can be subbed with vegetable oil
- 1 Tbsp vanilla extract
- 1 3/4 cup sweet rice flour *also called Mochiko flour, glutinous rice flour, or sticky rice flour
- 1/4 cup corn starch
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 Tbsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
Instructions
- Make mochi waffle batter. In a large mixing bowl, add the wet ingredients: eggs, milk, melted butter (or oil), and vanilla extract. Whisk until well combined. Add the dry ingredients directly on top: sweet rice flour, cornstarch, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk well, until there are no more lumps. Set aside.
- Cook waffles. Pre-heat the waffle iron to the highest setting. When the waffle iron is hot, dd a light coating of cooking oil spray to the plates. Make waffles according to the manufacturer's instructions until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes. Use a 1/3 measuring cup to scoop out the batter and add to the center of the waffle maker.
- Transfer waffles. Transfer cooked waffles to a wire rack fitted over a sheet pan. This will prevent the waffles from becoming soggy. The air will circulate under the waffles and keep them crisp.
- Serve. Transfer waffles to a large serving platter and sprinkle with powdered sugar, if desired. Serve with maple syrup, bacon or breakfast sausage, fresh fruit, and coffee. Enjoy!
