This basic waffle recipe is the foundation of every hungry mans waffle arsenal. It's the recipe we will build on. It's easy, simple, quick, no problem basic waffle recipe. You can find an even simpler version of this waffle recipe on the front page of waffle-recipe.com, but that one is really to easy to even bother. We want quality, right?

Basic Waffle Recipe

The ingredients for this basic waffle recipe are the same as on the front page. We will need: 4 ounces of all purpose flour, 4 ounces of whole-wheat flour, one teaspoon of sugar, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, ½ tablespoon salt, three eggs, one and a half cup of milk, and some vegetable oil. All this stuff will give you eight or nine, 9 inch sized waffles.


This basic waffle recipe will have five steps:
Step 1: Put all the dry ingredients - flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt into one bowl.

Step 2: Break the eggs and separate whites from the egg yolk.

Step 3: Put egg yolk, milk, and oil into another bowl and work on it until you get a nice and even liquid.

Step 4: Now throw what is in your wet bowl into the dry one and start mixing again and again and again until there are no lumps left. No lumps - good, lump - bad.

Step 5: You ain't done mixing... not take the egg whites and shake them, work them, go crazy... beat them until you get white and fluffy egg white snow.

Step 6: Gently mix the snow into the batter you made before (hint - this will make waffles a little softer). (applause) You just produced your basic waffle recipe batter.

All there is left to do is to put half cup of batter into the hot and steaming ready waffle iron, yearning to make you some waffles. Yummy. If you are not seeing pink giraffes dancing around your waffle iron we guess you are not that hungry yet and you can leave batter to stand still for a while (this is a bonus trick to make waffles even better).

What? You want more? Sorry this is it, basic waffle recipe ends here :). Let's eat!

For how many people would that (roughly) be?

tony on 13.04.2008. 14:15

Do you mean to use baking powder, not baking soda?

waffly on 14.04.2008. 02:50

Thul Dai: Well, depends on how many waffles can you eat :), but around 4 people.

tony: well, baking soda and baking powder do the same thing - produce CO2 bubbles in the dough. Just use baking powder, it's more common these days.

can we make them without eggs for them who do not eat eggs

waf on 06.05.2008. 01:24

chavi, I'm not sure if it will work but try replacing eggs with ground flax seeds. 1 Tablespoon flax seeds plus 3 Tablespoons water replaces one egg.

how much vegetable oil?

mat on 17.05.2008. 01:37

jenny, two tablespoons

Dennis on 01.06.2008. 13:46

Do you REALLY mean 1/2 tablespoon salt(1 and 1/2 teaspoons)...not 1/2 teaspoon??? I've never seen that much salt for 1 cup of flour before.

Waffle man on 02.06.2008. 07:37

@Dennis: it's 1/2 teaspoon, thanks for the notice!

Stanley on 06.06.2008. 08:52

By 8 oz do you mean the actual weight or 1 cup? I always get these confused.

Why is everything still in OZ ( ounces) and not metric. Its really pathetic to have to convert a recipe to the 21st century.

David in America on 26.06.2008. 21:24

@ Nigel, you're the only one that I know of that has to convert, everyone one else in this country learned their measurements in school. And when did metric become the standard of the 21st century?

bob marley on 13.07.2008. 15:49

great

David:

Everyone who lives outside the US learnt their measurements in school too, but they learnt metric! Imperial measurements really are antiquated now, despite some die-hard fans hanging on to pounds and ounces. In the UK, we only really use imperial for our own weights, which we often measure in stone, but even that's being phased out.
