Ingredients

Waffle Batter Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour Can be substituted for gluten-free flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tbsp sugar Adjust based on sweetness preference
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 tbsp butter Melted
  • 1 cup frozen grated ube Or ube halaya for added sweetness
  • 1 tbsp ube extract For added flavor and color

Instructions

Preparation

  • In one bowl, mix all dry ingredients: flour, sugar, and baking powder.
  • In another bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, melted butter, and ube extract.
  • Combine the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, being careful not to overmix.
  • Gently fold in the frozen grated ube or ube halaya.

Cooking

  • Preheat the waffle maker until it's very hot.
  • Scoop the batter into the waffle maker without overfilling it.
  • Cook until golden brown and crispy, usually about 5-7 minutes.
  • For extra crispiness, allow the waffles to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.

Notes

Store any leftover waffles in a freezer bag with parchment between them to avoid sticking. Reheat in a toaster or oven for best results.
