Belgian waffles are a weekend breakfast favorite, their deep pockets perfectly capturing pools of butter and syrup or cradling fresh berries and whipped cream. If you're gluten-intolerant or simply opting for a more gluten-conscious lifestyle, you're in luck! The Petley Grain Gluten Free Pancake and Waffle Mix offers a fantastic base for creating not only gluten-free pancakes but also mouthwatering Belgian waffles. Here’s how to achieve that perfect fluffy, crispy waffle experience.
Ingredients:
- 3/4 cup Petley Grain Gluten Free Pancake and Waffle Mix
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/2 cup Buttermilk or milk(or a plant-based alternative)
- 1 egg
- Canola oil
- Optional: Vanilla extract for extra flavor
- Cooking spray
Instructions:
1. Preheat Your Waffle Iron:
Begin by preheating your waffle iron. Ensuring your iron is fully heated before pouring the batter is key to achieving that perfect crispy waffle.
2. Prepare the Batter:
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the desired amount of Petley Grain Gluten Free Mix with eggs, milk, and oil according to the package directions. For added depth of flavor, consider adding a splash of vanilla extract. Mix until smooth but avoid over-mixing to ensure your waffles remain light and airy.
3. Rest the Batter:
Let your batter sit for about 5 minutes. This resting period allows the ingredients to fully hydrate and ensures a more consistent texture.
4. Grease Your Waffle Iron:
Lightly grease the waffle iron with oil or non-stick spray. This step is crucial to easily remove your waffle once cooked.
5. Cook the Waffles:
Pour an appropriate amount of batter onto the center of the waffle iron, spreading it out with a spatula if needed. Close the iron and cook until the waffles are golden brown and crisp. Cooking times might vary based on your iron's specifications, so keep an eye on the steam output as an indicator.
6. Serve and Enjoy:
Carefully remove the waffle from the iron and serve immediately. Classic toppings include maple syrup and butter, but feel free to get creative. Fresh berries, whipped cream, nuts, chocolate chips, or even savory toppings like fried chicken can elevate your waffle experience.
Tips for Success:
Separate and Beat the Egg Whites: For an even fluffier waffle, consider separating the eggs. Add the yolks to the batter as instructed, and beat the whites until soft peaks form, gently folding them into the batter last.
Consistency is Key: The batter should have a thick but pourable consistency. If it's too thin, add a bit more mix; if too thick, add more milk.
Keep Them Warm: To keep waffles warm while making a batch, place them in a single layer on a baking sheet in a preheated oven at a low temperature (~200°F).
Making Belgian waffles with Petley Grain's Gluten Free Mix doesn't mean compromising on taste or texture. With these steps, you’ll be well on your way to a delightful gluten-free breakfast that satisfies everyone at the table! Whether it’s a leisurely brunch or a breakfast-for-dinner evening, your Belgian waffles will surely steal the show.
