Cooking Log 0001: Gluten Free Waffles

I'm trying to find a good recipe for gluten-free waffles.

From what I have tried so far, the following had good results but have much more to be desired.

  • 2 cups of gluten free flour
  • 1 teaspoon of salt
  • 4 teaspoons of baking powder (gluten-free)
  • 2 tablespoons of white sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups of milk
  • 1/3 cup butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Easy to follow the steps:

  1. Plug in your waffle iron to heat it up.
  2. Add butter to pot and heat on low to melt
  3. Add flour, salt, baking powder, white sugar into a mixing bowl and stir
  4. Once butter is melted, add the milk and vanilla extract
  5. Turn off the heat, and add the eggs to the pot, and stir
  6. Now add the liquids into the dry mixing bowl, and beat everything together
  7. Add any additional ingredients you want in your waffle (chocolate chips, raisins, cheese)
  8. Pour into waffle iron and cook.
  9. Remove once reached desired texture and set aside to cool.

With this recipe, I often use white raisins and only a small amount. If you go overboard with any of the additional toppings, it could easily ruin the taste and structure of the waffle. Interestingly I have found that when I put too much batter in the iron, they end up very soft, and when I just fill enough to cover the waffle, they are much harder. Not 100% sure if this is due to time cooked, after all the first round is usually when I'm most attentive to the waffle. Will have to test cooking time and quantity used in the waffles. I also tend to add more milk to better spread on the iron.

I'm mostly posting these recipes, so that I have a readily available place to find the ones I like, and for me to keep a consistent record of my baking progress.
