Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups mochiko flour (sweet rice flour)
- 1 egg
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1/2 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/4 tablespoon sea salt
- 1 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- Optional: 1 tablespoon matcha powder
- Optional toppings: whipped cream (strawberries, honey and powdered sugar)
Instructions
- Prepare the Batter: Put the eggs in a bowl and whisk until well-mixed. Gradually add milk, stirring constantly. Add melted butter and 1/4 teaspoon sea salt. Mix thoroughly. Stir baking powder and granulated sugar until completely mixed. Gradually add the sweet glutinous flour and Stir until a thick, smooth batter forms.
- Preheat the Waffle Maker: Preheat your waffle iron. Lightly coat a waffle plate with cooking spray or melted butter.
- Pour the Batter: Use a scoop or a spoon to pour the batter on the waffle machine. If you don’t have an ice cream scoop, put the batter into a piping bag to make pouring it easier. Fill the waffle iron with batter when it has been heated up in a spiral pattern. Be careful not to add too much. Mochi batter expands when baked.
- Cook the Waffles: Close the waffle iron and bake for about 4-5 minutes or until the waffles are golden brown and crispy on the outside. Thanks to the mochi flour, the inside is incredibly chewy!
- Serve and Enjoy: Carefully remove the sticky waffles from the iron and let them cool slightly. It will become even more crunchy as it cools.
Notes
- Variations: Please try various flavors! Add cocoa powder or replace vanilla extract with almond extract for chocolate rice flour waffles.
- Storage: Mochi waffles are best enjoyed fresh, but Remaining food can be kept for up to a day in an airtight container at room temperature. Reheat it up in the toaster or oven.
