Description
A straightforward recipe for making crispy, sweet waffle sticks using gluten-free flour, perfect for breakfast or a snack.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour blend (with xanthan gum)
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (for batter)
- 1 large egg
- 1 1/4 cups milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 1/4 cup melted unsalted butter or oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup cinnamon sugar coating (1/4 cup granulated sugar + 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon)
- 2 tablespoons melted butter (for coating)
Instructions
- Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s directions. Lightly grease the plates if necessary.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour blend, baking powder, salt, and 2 tablespoons of sugar.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the egg, milk, 1/4 cup melted butter or oil, and vanilla extract until combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined; do not overmix the batter. A few small lumps are acceptable.
- Cook the batter in the preheated waffle iron until golden brown and crisp, following your iron’s timing instructions.
- Immediately remove the cooked waffle and place it on a cutting board. While the waffle is still hot, use a sharp knife to cut it into three or four stick shapes.
- In a small, shallow dish, mix the 1/4 cup sugar and 1 tablespoon cinnamon for the coating.
- Brush the warm waffle sticks lightly with the 2 tablespoons of melted butter reserved for coating.
- Roll or toss the buttered sticks immediately in the cinnamon sugar mixture until fully coated.
- Serve the waffle sticks warm. Repeat the cutting and coating process with the remaining waffles.
Notes
- For extra crispness, cook the waffles slightly longer than usual until they are deep golden brown.
- If your gluten-free flour blend does not contain xanthan gum, add 1 teaspoon to the dry ingredients.
- You can make a simple dipping sauce by mixing 1/2 cup powdered sugar with 2 tablespoons milk and 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract.
