Blender Waffles

Our Belgian Waffles are yummier, but what about those mornings when you want a waffle but do not have the time to deal with egg whites?

This is our quick and easy waffle recipe. The blender does all of the work!

Turn on the waffle iron. If desired for keeping waffles warm, preheat oven to 275º and put a baking sheet or cookie rack inside.

In a small bowl combine the dry ingredients:

1 cup gluten-free flour mix
1/3 cups tapioca flour
2 tsp sugar
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
1/4 tsp xanthan gum
pinch of salt

(The tapioca flour helps make waffles with crispy outsides and soft insiders. A healthier flour can be used if nutrition is valued more than texture.)

In a blender, blend the wet ingredients:

2 eggs
1 cup milk
1 tsp olive oil
1 tsp lemon or lime juice

Then add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and blend again. If you have the time, allow the batter to sit a few minutes before making waffles.

Note: for the best waffles, blend the batter again before each time you pour it; this ensures that each set of waffles rises the same amount.

How much to pour from the blender into the waffle iron will require a little experimentation. (For example, with our waffle iron we pour into the middle of each waffle shape and stop once the batter fills every groove but the outer edges of the corner squares.)

Cook waffles for 5-7 minutes each. Trust a timer or when the steam dwindles away, not the waffle iron lights.
