Mochi Waffles
Serves: 8 waffles
These Mochi Waffles are crispy and golden with a chewy centre, making them a delicious twist on classic waffles.
Ingredients
For the Mochi Waffles
- 230 g (1 ½ cups) glutinous rice flour, also called sweet rice flour or Mochiko flour
- 50 g (¼ cup) caster sugar, (superfine sugar)
- ¼ teaspoon fine salt
- 10 g (2 teaspoons) baking powder
- 125 ml whole milk
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 100 g (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted and cooled
For the Cinnamon Sugar
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2-3 teaspoons ground cinnamon, or to taste
Instructions
To Make the Batter
- Place the dry ingredients into the bowl of an electric stand mixer.
- Measure the liquid ingredients into a large jug.
- Using the flat paddle attachment, mix the dry ingredients together briefly.
- Slowly add the liquid ingredients to the dry ingredients.
- Mix on low speed until all of the ingredients are well incorporated.
- Turn up the speed slightly and beat until the batter is thick and smooth.
To Make the Mochi Waffles
- Heat a Belgian waffle maker according to the manufacturer's intructions.
- Scoop some batter into the waffle maker. I like to use an ice-cream scoop for this task. How much batter you need will depend on the size of your waffle maker, so you might have to experiment with 1-2 waffles.
- Close the lid on the waffle maker.
- Cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the waffles are golden to your liking.
- Place the waffles on a wire rack to cool. If you don't use a wire rack, the waffles may steam and go soft or soggy underneath.
- Repeat with the remaining waffle batter.
- Whilst the waffles are still hot, sprinkle them generously with cinnamon sugar, or with your favourite toppings.
- These waffles are best served immediately, but they can also be reheated in the toaster or the air fryer.
Kitchen Notes
- MAKING THE CINNAMON SUGAR STICK
To make the cinnamon sugar stick better to the waffles, you can brush the waffles first with some melted butter. But since there is already so much butter in the batter (which helps to make the waffles crispy and golden), I prefer to just sprinkle the waffles with the cinnamon sugar. - OVEN & STOVE TEMPERATURES
