Gluten Free Waffles

"My husband, who is not Gluten Intolerant, and I have these every Saturday morning. He likes these better than ones made with "real" flour! This recipe is easily halved or multiplied, as needed. These are also excellent to use as sandwich bread, sloppy joe open-face bread, (better if you omit the sugar and use regular milk instead of buttermilk); strawberry shortcake, etc. Refrigerate any leftovers and warm about 15-20 seconds in microwave before filling with sandwich stuff."

  1. These are AMAZING! We've made these at least once a week for the last year. We often make a double batch on the weekend and freeze some for quick use over the week (just pop them straight in the toaster and they are ready to go). For the freezer batch, we just do not let them crisp as much as the ones we are going to eat that day. We've have tried MANY variations based on what we have on hand and have learned a few tricks when preparing them. DO NOT USE A MIXER to mix these if you want them light and crispy. For the first 2 months I would use the kitchen aid to whip up the egg whites, mix everything else separately and fold in the eggs but was unable to get them light and crisp (though the batter did go further). For the next 8 months we tried to mix everything in the mixer and still found that they weren't as light and fluffy as we like them. And then one day the mixer was in use and I had to mix them by hand and they came out PERFECT! They were totally light and fluffy (though they only made 8 waffles and not 10 like they could make before). The last time I made these, we were out of eggs so we used egg replacer and found that they were even lighter and tasted better by our standards! We've made variations with soy milk, whole milk, skim milk, goats milk and buttermilk, but feel that buttermilk is the way to go for us. We serve with Syrup or Agave, strawberries and whipped cream! Thank you, Thank you Thank you for the recipe!
     
  2. This is a great, versitile recipe. We are gluten/ egg and dairy free, so I subbed 3 tbs of water and a rounded tablespoon of ground flax for each egg. I also used coconut milk and a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar (for each cup of milk), and use virgin coconut oil for the oil. This morning I traded 20% of the flour for cocount flour ( add an equal part of liquid for the coconut flour because it absorbs so much liquid) and a little hazlenut flour. I always add vanilla, maple syrup and cinnamon too. I whip up a little fresh walnut pecan butter ( in a food processor fitted with an "s" blade, blend walnuts, pecans, a little salt, maple syrup and flax oil and water until it reaches the right buttery consistency) and add a few berries to top them off- and if I am feeling really decadent I add a dallop of coconut bliss (coconut icecream). You could also top with cashew cream if you can't do coconut. I quadruple the recipe, freeze them and we have an amazing breakfast for two weeks!
     
  3. These are INCREDIBLE!!! We used to make waffles all the time before my son became GF. I haven't been brave enough to attempt a GF waffle until this past weekend (it's been 6 years). OH MY GOSH, I'M SO GLAD I FOUND THIS RECIPE! This is seriously better than any other "regular" waffle we have ever made. This is officially our family waffle recipe from this day forward. Perfect flavor, PERFECT consistency, lightly crisp on outside, soft and delicious inside. Made extra and froze a few... and they reheat great. I can't say enough. I followed another suggestion of using a whisk, not a hand-blender. PERFECTION!!! Thank you Thank you for posting this recipe.
     
  4. This recipe is a KEEPER, I used Maple whole milk yogurt and a splash of 1/2 and 1/2, and I added a touch more sugar and a teaspoon of pure vanilla extract. See photo of round stack. Oh yeah... definitely a keeper. Thanks!
     
  5. Will never make regular waffles again! These were hands down the most amazing waffles. Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Seriously, make them!

Tweaks

  1. Needed a way to use up cottage cheese and extra egg whites from making hollandaise sauce. So I changed potatoe starch to corn and used a 1/4 cup. No salt, a 1/4 cup of butter (fats, as long as not trans are good for you), one egg with the three egg whites left over from night before, a little honey and 1/8 tsp. of cream of tartar to remove taste baking powder. Keeps the wife happy. Then I used a 1/2 cup of cottage cheese. Followed other ingredients but cut milk by half. I always sift all the dry ingredients and separatly mix all the wet. then pour the wet into the dry, mix until moistened and then fold in the egg whites which I have beaten until peaks form. Tasted great.
     
  2. See above
     
  3. Cassava for Brown Fonio and I used yogurt and Virgin Coconut Oil. Since nobody at home is for Gluten Free I added 1/2 c Whole Wheat flour (but I could have omitted).
     
  4. This is going into my favorites. Crispy outside and awesome softness inside.<br/>Changes: <br/>1/2 c br rice and 1/2 c white rice flours<br/>coconut oil instead of regular oil<br/>Made buttermilk out of 1.5 tsp apple cider vinegar and 1.5 c of 2% milk
     
  5. I have been gluten free for about a year now and have yet to find a good waffle recipe until now. This is an excellent recipe, about as close to wheat waffles that I have found. I did substitute the buttermilk with 1 cup of almond milk and 1/2 cup of yogurt. I also added 1/4 cup more of brown rice flour to thicken it up a bit. I can't tell you the joy I felt when I was eating my waffles. I sprinkled toasted pecans, fresh strawberries and a little whipped cream on top. Even with all of that on top I could still taste the wonderful flavor of the waffles along with the great texture and that's what is missing with most gluten free foods is the texture. After reading the reviews I did add 1 teaspoon of vanilla by the way. I have a recipe for pancakes using whole wheat flour and white flour, we substituted the wheat with brown rice flour and for the white flour we used white rice flour and the recipe worked perfectly. Thanks so much to E.Bennett for posting this delicious recipe.
