Mom gave us the Belgian Waffle Maker's a while ago and we have been working on perfecting our waffle batter so that it tasks like the Waffles at Mauna Kea in Hawaii. If you haven't had them, they taste similar to a churro in that they are crisp on the outside and soft on the inside. They also have coconut syrup that is off the heezy.
Here is the Belgian Waffle Recipe that we used this last time and it worked really good:
Ingredients:
2 Cups Flour
4 Teaspoons Baking Powder
1/2 Teaspoon Salt
1/4 cup sugar
2 eggs, separated
1/2 cup oil
2 cups milk
Directions:
1. Sift the dry ingredients together in a large bowl.
2. Separate the eggs.
3. In small bowl, beat egg whites until stiff (use electric mixer)
4. Mix together the egg yolks, milk and oil and stir slightly
5. Add to dry ingredients and mix well
6. Fold in beaten egg whites.
Step 6 is really the most important step because you can mix the other ingredients pretty much how you want without screwing things up. But you have to make sure that you very carefully "fold" in the egg whites as it will greatly effect the quality/crispness of the waffle. Do not "over fold" as it will loose its fluffiness.
Make sure that your Belgian waffle maker is turned on its highest setting. You want the outsides to be crispy. Also make sure you grease it with a lot of butter or cooking spray. Pour in about 3/4 a cup into the waffle maker and close the machine and rotate it immediately. It will let yo know when its done.
I just found this coconut syrup recipe here that looks pretty easy: http://allrecipes.com/recipe/coconut-pancake-syrup/
I give this recipe 4/5 stars. Hoping to find that 5 star batter soon.
It only takes about 10 minutes to prepare and about 1-2 minutes per Waffle
