What is the secret of making crispy waffles?

The key to crispy waffles lies in the batter’s fat and sugar content, more oil or butter for crispiness and a little extra sugar for caramelization. Preheat your waffle iron to ensure it’s very hot before adding the batter, allowing it to cook without interruption.

Ingredients
 
 

  • 2 1/4 cups (270g) all-purpose flour, scoop & leveled
  • 2 Tbsp light brown sugar
  • 1 Tbsp pumpkin pie spice, homemade or store-bought
  • 4 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt

  • 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil, or vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs, at room temperature
Toppings
  • Pure maple syrup
  • Pecans, roughly chopped

Method
 

  • Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
  • Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, oil and eggs until well combined.
  • Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture and whisk until just combined, ensuring no lumps remain. Be careful not to over-mix.
  • Rest the Batter: Let the batter sit for 15 minutes while you preheat your waffle iron.
  • Preheat Waffle Iron: Heat your waffle iron to the highest setting according to your waffle maker’s instructions, ensuring it reaches the right temperature for optimal crispiness.
