Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons natural baking powder
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent
- Pinch of salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups plant-based milk
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon natural vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
Instructions
- Prepare the dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, natural baking powder, granulated sugar, natural gelling agent, and a pinch of salt. This ensures even distribution for perfectly risen waffles. Set aside.
- Mix the wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine the plant-based milk, vegetable oil, natural vanilla extract, and vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural). Whisk until smooth and well blended.
- Combine wet and dry mixtures: Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients while gently folding with a spatula. Avoid overmixing; stir just enough to bring the batter together with some small lumps remaining for optimal fluffiness.
- Preheat and grease your waffle iron: Set your waffle iron to medium-high heat and lightly grease with vegetable oil to prevent sticking. Once heated, pour an appropriate amount of batter into the iron based on your waffle maker’s size.
- Cook the waffles: Close the waffle iron and cook for 4 to 6 minutes or until the waffles are golden brown and crisp on the outside. Do not open too early to allow steam to escape fully for perfect texture.
- Serving: Carefully remove waffles and serve warm. Keep finished waffles on a low oven heat if preparing multiple batches to maintain crispness.
Notes
- The batter should be thick yet pourable; add more plant-based milk if too thick.
- Do not overmix the batter to keep waffles light and fluffy.
- Grease the waffle iron well before cooking to prevent sticking and achieve a golden crisp exterior.
- Keep waffles warm on a low oven rack to maintain crispiness without drying out.
- Experiment with toppings such as sweet syrups, fresh fruits, or nut butters for varied flavors.
