👨‍🍳 Method

    Grease the waffle iron well, top and bottom, and heat it closed.

  4. 4
    Pour the milk mixture into the dry ingredients and stir with a spoon, just until the batter is uniform with no dry gluten-free flour blend.
    💡Overmixing develops gluten, and the waffle comes out tough. Mix only until there's no dry gluten-free flour blend.
  5. 5
    Pour in batter until it covers the bottom of the hot iron, close and bake 4–5 minutes, until the waffle is golden and crisp.

    💡Don't open the iron midway through baking: it spoils the waffle's texture.
  6. 6
    Serve hot.
    💡Waffles that have been waiting to be served crisp up again in a 100°C (210°F) oven in about 5 minutes.
