Gluten free waffle recipe
Last Christmas, my husband surprised me with a waffle maker. It's a German-manufactured (Tchibo) one, with the ability to make 2 waffles at a time. Each waffle sub-divides into 5 heart-shaped waffles. I've experimented with many gluten and gluten free waffle recipe dishes over the past few months. My first attempt with a gluten free waffle recipe was to take a recipe similar to the breakfast waffles made with wheat flour, only substituting the flour with a gluten-free flour or baking mix. I find buckwheat and rice flour works well for this. However, you do need to add baking powder and you need to ensure they are fluffy by beating the egg whites separately and folding them in as the last step. You will also need to adjust the amount of milk to add. Gluten-free flours tend to absorb milk more.
This gluten free waffle recipe takes 15 minutes to prepare, and if you have a double-waffle iron like mine, it will not take long to make a delicious, warm breakfast with this gluten free waffle recipe! . The Ingredients are :
- 3 eggs, separated
- 400ml milk
- 225g gluten free flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 3 teaspoons sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 4 teaspoons vegetable oil
A second gluten free waffle recipe I tried was one adapted from a gluten-free pancake recipe from Thailand. It was made with rice flour, coconut milk, an egg, some sugar, baking powder and a pinch of salt. Again you need to beat the egg whites separately so as to make the waffles lighter, and you do need to add baking powder to ensure a light, airy texture to the waffles.
A third recipe - again adapted from a gluten free pancake recipe is the following : Mix 1 cup rice flour, 1/2 cup soya flour and 1/2 cup corn meal, 1 tbsp baking powder. In a separate bowl, beat together 1 egg and 1.5 cups milk and 2tbsp vegetable oil. Mix the dry ingredients with the wet ingredients and cook immediately.
Another gluten-free waffle recipe is to take a gluten-free pancake or muffin mix - many supermarkets and health food shops stock these. Some are made with buckwheat flour or rice flour; and some have added ingredients such as apple and cinnamon, or maple syrup. You may need to experiment a bit with the mixes and vary the ingredients to your gluten free waffle recipe a bit, such as less liquid, more baking powder and fluffing up the whites into the batter.
As long as you persevere with the above gluten free waffle recipes, you will find the waffles that suit your tastes and lifestyle. I hope the above gluten free waffle recipe ideas entice your taste buds to start trying!

Gluten Free Tips #3
Take restaurant cards on holiday. When you go on holiday to a place that speaks another language you do not want to trust to your rusty language skills to explain to the waitress that you are gluten intolerant. Take a foreign language prepared card outlining your condition. In this way you do not put the waitress under pressure, the details are clearly explained in the local language and the card can be passed direct to the chief avoiding any miscommunication.
