Steps to follow to prepare the best bubble waffles at home
- Whip all liquid ingredients together for two minutes to add as much air to the mix to get fluffier waffles. These ingredients are milk, oil, eggs and vanilla extract. If you wish, you can get even a fluffier result if you separate whites from yolks. Whip the whites until stiff peaks and mix it carefully with the dough afterwards.
- Add to the blender the cornstarch, sugar and sifted flour to reduce possible lumps. Beat until you add and mix all the ingredients to the dough. Once you do that, it is time to add the baking powder. In case you have decided to whip the egg whites until stiff peaks, you may add them to the mix now carefully.
- Baste the bubble waffle maker with oil and pour the dough. You might be careful to leave like 1/3 of the machine free due to the dough may expand during cooking.
- Close the maker and leave it until the bubble waffle is slightly brown.
- Remove the bubble waffle carefully from the maker and put it in a round container like a glass or a paper cone. It is so important to do it when it is still hot because it can be manipulated without any problem. In other words, the bubble waffle could break if it is not hot when you decide to manipulate it.
