Ingredients

Scale

Basic Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Batter: Whisk the eggs and sugar together until smooth and slightly frothy. Gradually add the milk and vegetable oil, mixing well. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour and baking powder, then slowly incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet mixture along with the vanilla extract until the batter is smooth and lump-free.
  2. Preheat Your Bubble Egg Waffle Pan: Place the special waffle pan over medium heat and lightly grease it with oil or non-stick spray to prevent sticking. Preheating ensures even cooking and crispiness.
  3. Cook the Waffles: Pour enough batter to fill the bubbles without overflowing. Close the pan and cook for about 2-3 minutes on one side, then flip and cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown and crisp.
  4. Remove and Cool Slightly: Carefully remove the waffles from the pan and let them cool on a rack for a minute or two to set their shape while maintaining the perfect balance of crisp and chewiness.

Notes

  • Use medium heat to avoid burning and ensure waffles cook through evenly.
  • Do not overfill the waffle pan to prevent sogginess or messy edges.
  • Grease the pan well to help waffles release easily and form a perfect crust.
  • Allow waffles to cool briefly before serving to enhance crispness.
  • Try adding toppings like fresh fruits, syrups, or ice cream to make your treat more special.
