#Waffles

So yah, pretty sold on Egg White #Waffles as the best kind, just now. It's as close as I've gotten to the platonic waffles in my head.

Might try reintroducing a single yolk next time, but I'm pretty convinced it's the yolks that are preventing them from being really light like a cloud, which this last batch truly was. Going to try butter instead of oil next time, but there's nothing with with the oil, still got that crispy flavour, and I think this is a case where less fat may actually better.

Today's #Waffles

Leftover mash tater waffles with ched. It is very important when doing potato waffles to have good binders, but especially, to let those binders cook without opening the iron. You can see the first set to the right of one pic, and they are a mess. Leaving them alone for the full 5 mins gave excellent results.

edit: it is agreed, this is our favorite waffle so far.

2c mash
1/4c flour
2 eggs
salt & pepper
whip above
~1/2c grated ched, mix in
5-6 mins on the iron w/ spray

Two lumps of mashed taters, cheese, eggs & flour and stuff on a waffle iron that is just about to be closed and make them delicious.
Two finished tater waffles and a big mess of ruined waffle on the cooling rack. The crispy fried factor is off the scale, and Laurie is working on the bacon and eggs that will be served on top right now.

Today's #Waffles: Liege Waffles.

Canadian twist: recipe calls for "pearl sugar" which is sugar in gravel-sized chunks apparently. It is not in any of our country grocery stores, so I'm using dehydrated Maple Sirple instead.

Money shots on the way.

edit: By the way, if you want to know when you've got a waffle problem, one sure sign is that you have found the websites that sell customized waffle makers.

Results not too bad. Waffles are like pizza and sex after all.

A stainless steel bowl on a countertop which contains a doughball that is rising. A hand is reaching in from frame left, holding a bag of "Maple Crunch," which contains small chunks of dehydrated maple syrup. This is being used in lieu of Pearl Sugar in the recipe from this page: https://liegewaffle.wordpress.com/liege-waffle-recipe-liege-gaufre-recette/

Today's waffles are Mochi waffles, made with mostly rice flour. The recipe I tried used about 2:1 Mochiko to AP, will have to try using only rice flour another time.

This recipe is crispier and more chewy. The ones out of the mini iron are very close to cookies.

This all is making me want a thin iron such as you'd make waffle cones with.

I am very aware that I am abusing #waffles as a coping mechanism btw.

Four Mochi Waffles on a cooling rack with the box of Koda Farms "Mochiko" sweet rice flour at the rear. As the batter is thick, the waffles are round and do not fill up the entirety of my square waffle irons while baking. They are a lovely and fairly uniform golden brown, except at the edges, where they have a lot of whiteish nubs, again because the thick batter doesn't make contact with the iron. Like all waffles, they are very delicious, and if you're ever in the Gimli area, you should come by for some.

We had a lovely evening with friends last night and brought dessert. I knew there were some limitations due to allergies, so in the thinking process I chose to go with super simple truffles/mini torte balls. And then @WTL suggested the seasonal favourite homemade Belgian waffles.

The plated dessert with freshly puréed mango and persimmons and fresh blackberries from our @oddbunchcanada box; the homemade Belgian Waffles and the Sweet Potato Truffle/Torte, topped with some coconut whipped topping provided by our hosts!
