Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups plant-based milk
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar (natural)
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar (natural)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)
- 1 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Prepare the Wet Ingredients: Whisk together the plant-based milk, apple cider vinegar (natural), vegetable oil, brown sugar (natural), vanilla extract (natural), and vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural) until well combined. Let the mixture rest briefly to activate the natural gelling agent for an ideal texture.
- Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, natural gelling agent, and salt to ensure an even distribution and a smooth batter.
- Combine the Batter: Gently pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring carefully until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the waffles light and airy; a few small lumps are okay.
- Heat the Waffle Iron and Cook: Preheat your waffle iron to the desired temperature, lightly brush with vegetable oil, and pour in the batter. Cook according to your waffle iron’s instructions until the waffles are golden brown and crispy on the outside.
- Serve Immediately or Keep Warm: Enjoy your Dutch Cream Waffles fresh from the waffle iron for the best texture. If needed, keep them warm on a wire rack in a low oven while finishing cooking the remaining batter.
Notes
- Use a kitchen scale for accurate measuring of flour and liquids to maintain consistent batter texture.
- Let the batter rest 5-10 minutes before cooking to improve fluffiness.
- Ensure your waffle iron is fully preheated for crisp edges and a soft center.
- Lightly oil the waffle iron before adding batter to prevent sticking without using too much oil.
- Avoid overmixing; stir the batter just until combined for the most tender waffles.
