Gluten-Free Belgian Waffles
The perfect blend of gluten-free flour and cornstarch makes these waffles light and fluffy on the inside with perfectly crispy edges. Easy to make and loved by the whole family.
Servings: 4 large waffles
Ingredients
- 1 ¼ cups gluten-free flour blend Bob's Red Mill 1:1 preferred
- ¼ cup cornstarch
- 3 Tablespoons sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 3 large eggs
- 3 Tablespoons oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a large bowl whisk together the gluten-free flour, cornstarch, sugar, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl whisk together the eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla until combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk together until combined. Don't overmix, a few lumps are fine.
- Let the batter sit 5-10 minutes while you preheat the waffle iron.
- Pour batter into your preheated waffle iron and cook until golden brown, usually 3-5 minutes depending on the size of your iron.
- Serve immediately with your desired toppings, such as butter, maple syrup, fresh berries, or strawberry syrup and whipped cream.
Notes
Batter Amount and Yield: The amount of batter you'll use depends on your waffle iron. Check your user manual, or google it! I have the Bella Flip-n-Serve, which is a Belgian waffle maker and needs about ¾ cup of batter, yielding 4 large waffles. I also have the Dash mini waffle iron which uses about ¼ cup of batter and makes about 12 eggo-sized waffles.
How to know when waffles are done: You'll know the waffles are done when the steam slows down or fully dissipates and the waffles are a nice golden brown. If the waffles are sticking and the lid won't open, it may be that they are not ready, close the iron and let them cook another minute or two.
Non-stick and ceramic waffle irons do not need to be greased. Cooking spray can damage the non-stick nature of your waffle iron.
To keep waffles warm and crisp: Place cooked waffles in a single layer on a wire rack in a 200°F oven. Placing on a platter or stacking them will trap steam and the waffles will become soggy.
