Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 tablespoon natural gelling agent
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 3/4 cups plant-based milk
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 3 tablespoons melted plant-based butter (natural)
- 1 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)
Instructions
- Prepare the Batter: In a large bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, natural gelling agent, sugar, and salt. In another bowl, combine plant-based milk, apple cider vinegar, melted plant-based butter (natural), vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), and vanilla extract (natural). Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry mix and stir gently until just combined with slight lumps. Avoid overmixing to keep waffles light and airy.
- Preheat Your Waffle Iron: Turn on the waffle iron and allow it to fully heat. Lightly grease the grids with plant-based butter (natural) or a high-quality cooking spray to prevent sticking. Ensure the iron is hot to achieve a crisp exterior.
- Cook the Waffles: Pour an appropriate amount of batter onto the preheated waffle iron without overfilling. Close the lid and cook for 3-5 minutes or until waffles are golden brown and crisp on the outside, following your waffle iron’s instructions.
- Serve Fresh and Hot: Use a silicone spatula to carefully remove the waffles and place them on a cooling rack briefly to maintain crispiness. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings for the best texture and taste.
Notes
- Ensure batter is slightly thick for crispy yet tender waffles.
- Preheat waffle iron thoroughly for even browning and to prevent sticking.
- Do not overmix batter to maintain light and fluffy texture.
- Use natural gelling agent carefully to avoid tough waffles.
- Serve waffles promptly for optimal crispiness, or keep warm on a wire rack.
