Waffles – basic recipe When I want a simple dessert that is prepared without many dishes and complicated techniques, I make these waffles. The batter mixes quickly, and once the appliance is heated, each portion is cooked in a few minutes. The recipe is suitable for sweet waffles served with your favorite topping. The batter should be thicker than pancake batter, similar to a thick cream, so that it does not run in the appliance. Quick info Preparation time: not specified exactly; mixing the ingredients is done in a short time Preheating the appliance: about 3 minutes Baking time: 2-3 minutes for each portion Total time: depends on the number of waffles and the mixing time of the batter; for each batch, add about 2-3 minutes of baking time Servings: not specified in the original recipe Difficulty: easy Type of recipe: dessert for breakfast or any time of the day Ingredients 250 g flour 2 eggs 3 tablespoons sugar 1 packet vanilla sugar 100 ml oil 400 ml milk 1 packet baking powder Preparation method 1. Prepare the batter Put the eggs, sugar, vanilla sugar, and oil in a bowl. Mix until the sugar dissolves. Separately, mix the flour with the baking powder. Gradually add this mixture to the bowl, alternating with the milk. Mix after each addition so that the batter remains as uniform as possible. The final composition should resemble a thicker cream. It should not be liquid or runny. 2. Heat the waffle appliance Grease the plates of the appliance with a little oil, only before the first use. After that, it is not necessary to repeat the greasing. Plug in the appliance and let it heat up. In the original recipe, the plates become hot enough after about 3 minutes. 3. Bake the waffles Pour a small ladle of batter into the appliance. The amount should be enough to cover the baking area without overflowing too much at the edges. Close the appliance and let the waffles bake for about 2-3 minutes. After this interval, check if they are evenly baked. The time may vary depending on the appliance, so it is safer to check the first portion before setting the pace for the next ones. Remove the waffles using a fork, being careful not to scratch the non-stick plates of the appliance. 4. Serve Waffles are served with your favorite topping. They can be offered immediately after baking, when they are fresh and warm. Why I make this recipe often It is a basic recipe with common ingredients and a batter that is prepared quickly. You do not need to separate the eggs, and there are no complicated steps before baking. Once the appliance is heated, the waffles are made in turn, one portion every few minutes. I also like that the recipe can be used as a starting point for a dessert served with your favorite topping. The important thing is that the batter has the right consistency: if it is too fluid, it may run in the appliance, and if it is mixed correctly and has the indicated texture, it distributes more easily between the plates. Tips Grease the plates only at the beginning, as indicated in the recipe. There is no need to add oil before each portion. Let the appliance heat up before putting in the first batter. For this recipe, the indicated preheating time is about 3 minutes. Use a smaller ladle for portioning. If you put too much batter, it may overflow after closing the appliance. Do not open the appliance immediately after closing it. Let the waffles bake for about 2-3 minutes, then check if they are evenly baked. Remove them carefully using a fork, without scratching the non-stick surface. If the first portion is not evenly baked, check the next one after the same interval and adjust only the baking time according to the appliance used. The recipe does not set a different time for each type of appliance. Substitutions The original recipe does not offer substitutions for the ingredients used. To maintain the indicated proportions and texture, use flour, milk, eggs, oil, sugar, vanilla sugar, and baking powder in the mentioned quantities. Variations The recipe can be prepared as a base for sweet waffles. The source mentions that waffles can be served sweet or savory, but the quantities presented here include sugar and vanilla sugar, so the described version is a sweet one. To keep the recipe unchanged, variation can be made by choosing the topping. There is no need to modify the base batter if you want a simple dessert for breakfast or a snack. Serving ideas Serve waffles with your favorite topping, immediately after baking. The recipe does not impose a specific topping, allowing you to adapt them according to the time of day and what you have on hand. Frequently Asked Questions Why does the batter need to be thicker than pancake batter? Because the batter is placed directly between the plates of the appliance. The recommended texture in the recipe is similar to a thick cream and should not run. A batter that is too thin may distribute unevenly or spill out of the appliance. Do I need to grease the appliance before each waffle? No. The plates are greased with a little oil only at the beginning. After the first greasing, the operation does not need to be repeated according to the recipe. How long do waffles bake? Each portion is left for about 2-3 minutes. After this interval, check if it has baked evenly. The exact duration may vary depending on the appliance and how it heats the plates. How long should the appliance be heated? The appliance should be left to heat for about 3 minutes until the plates become hot enough for baking. What do waffles get served with? They are served with your favorite topping. The recipe does not specify a particular topping and can be adapted according to preferences. Nutritional values The values below are estimates for the entire amount of batter, calculated based on the ingredients in the recipe. Exact values per portion cannot be established as the recipe does not specify how many waffles result and how much batter goes into each portion. For the entire recipe: Calories: approximately 2,100-2,200 kcal Proteins: approximately 50-55 g Carbohydrates: approximately 220-230 g Fats: approximately 105-115 g Most of the fats come from the 100 ml of oil, while carbohydrates mainly come from flour, sugar, and milk. If you divide the batter into several waffles, the values per piece will depend on the number obtained and the amount used for each baking. Storage and reheating The original recipe does not provide instructions on storing or reheating waffles. They are best served immediately after baking when they are fresh. If there are leftover waffles, store them in the refrigerator in a closed container and consume them as soon as possible. For reheating, heat them in the waffle appliance until they become warm again. Be sure not to burn them, as they are already baked and only need to be warmed, not cooked again.
