Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup sugar
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup ube puree
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat Waffle Iron: Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions to ensure it reaches the optimal temperature for crisp waffles.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, and salt, ensuring even distribution of leavening agents and balance of flavors.
- Prepare Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the eggs thoroughly, then mix in the ube puree, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth and combined.
- Combine Wet and Dry: Pour the wet ingredient mixture into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Avoid overmixing to maintain a light texture.
- Cook Waffles: Lightly grease the waffle iron to prevent sticking. Pour an appropriate amount of batter into the waffle iron, close the lid, and cook until the waffles turn golden brown and have a crispy exterior, typically about 4-6 minutes.
- Serve: Carefully remove the waffles and serve immediately while hot with your favorite toppings such as butter, syrup, whipped cream, or fresh fruit.
Notes
- Do not overmix the batter to avoid tough waffles; some lumps are okay.
- Use fresh ube puree for the best color and flavor or store-bought if unavailable.
- You can substitute milk with a dairy-free alternative to make it lactose-free.
- Waffles are best served immediately but can be kept warm in a low oven.
- Adjust sugar slightly if you prefer sweeter waffles.
