Waffle
Waffles are a delectable dessert, beloved worldwide for their crispy exterior and soft, fluffy interior. These treats are prepared by cooking a batter between two heated plates, commonly known as waffle irons or waffle sheets. The result is a distinctive grid pattern, which adds to their signature appeal. Waffles are incredibly versatile and can be enjoyed in various ways, ranging from sweet variations like Nutella, chocolate, fruits, and vanilla to savory options. Different cultures have their unique methods of preparing waffles, adding a variety of ingredients and flavors. Today, we will walk you through the process of creating waffles, offering multiple flavor options to satisfy your cravings.
Waffle Ingredients:
- 1 cup of all-purpose white flour
- 1 teaspoon of baking powder
- ¼ cup of vegetable oil
- 1 cup of liquid milk
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon of liquid vanilla extract
Preparation :
Begin by placing all the ingredients into a large mixing bowl. Stir them together thoroughly until the batter is smooth and well-combined. Once mixed, let the batter rest for approximately 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the texture to set.
Next, preheat your waffle machine. Once hot, carefully pour the batter onto the waffle plates, ensuring an even distribution. Close the lid and let the waffles cook until they achieve a golden-brown color and crisp texture. Enjoy your perfectly cooked waffles!
Waffles with chocolate
Ingredients:
- 125 grams of butter
- 4 large eggs
- 50 grams of cocoa powder
- 150 grams of sugar
- Butter for greasing the waffle machine
- 50 grams of grated dark chocolate
- 4 tablespoons of caster sugar
- ½ teaspoon of dry yeast
- 150 grams of all-purpose white flour
- 8 tablespoons of powdered milk
- 150 grams of cornstarch
Preparation :
Start by combining the butter, eggs, sugar, and vanilla extract in a mixing bowl. Use a whisk or an electric mixer to blend the ingredients together until they form a smooth, creamy mixture.
Next, sift the dry ingredients—yeast, flour, cocoa powder, and cornstarch—directly over the bowl. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, ensuring everything is well incorporated.
Add the grated dark chocolate and milk, stirring until the batter is smooth. Once mixed, cover the bowl and let it rest for two hours. The batter should have a semi-liquid consistency; if it thickens too much during resting, simply add more liquid milk until it reaches the desired texture.
Preheat your waffle iron as the batter rests. Once hot, lightly grease the plates with butter to prevent the waffles from sticking.
After the resting time, pour the waffle batter into the preheated waffle iron, spreading it evenly. Close the machine and cook until the waffles turn golden brown and crispy.
Once cooked, remove the waffles and place them on a serving plate. Sprinkle a light dusting of caster sugar on top for an extra touch of sweetness. Serve the waffles cold and enjoy your delicious, decadent treat!

- 2 teaspoons of high-quality vanilla essence
- 1 large egg
- 2 cups of milk (whole or any preferred type)

How to :
Begin by combining the dry ingredients. In a large mixing bowl, use your hands or a whisk to blend together the flour and sugar until evenly distributed.
Gradually introduce the wet ingredients into the bowl, starting with the egg, followed by the vanilla extract, milk, and vegetable oil. Mix the ingredients thoroughly using either a hand mixer or a manual whisk to create a smooth batter without lumps.
