I didn’t make waffles before being diagnosed with celiac disease, and I didn’t think about making them gluten-free until son #3 recently asked if I could. As a result, I received a Krups Belgian Waffle Maker
I looked over several recipes and ended up modifying this recipe from RecipeZaar. I doubled the recipe as well as made some changes. My recipe made almost 16 rectangular Belgian waffles. They were light and fluffy and quite a treat to eat. We’re looking forward to more of them!
Gluten-Free Belgian Waffle Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 c. brown rice flour
- 1 c. sorghum flour
- 1 c. potato starch
- 1/2 c. tapioca starch
- 4 tsp. baking powder
- 1 tsp. salt
- 2 tsp. sugar
- 1 tsp. xanthan gum
- 3 c. sour milk
- 1/2 c. oil
- 4 eggs
Instructions
Combine the dry ingredients in a large bowl. In a medium sized bowl combine the milk, oil and eggs. To make sour milk add 1 tsp. vinegar or lemon juice per cup of milk and let sit a few minutes. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and whisk together. Batter can be slightly lumpy. Pour onto a hot waffle maker. For large Belgian waffles, I cooked them 5 minutes.
Remove and top with syrup, fruit, and/or whipped cream.
This recipe reads like it will work and your experience says it does so I will try it. I bought an inexpensive waffle iron since going GF but the batch I made were not good – went right in the trash! Thanks for posting. I like the light and fluffy confirmation!
Just made these and they are very good. My 12 year old daughter and I are just starting out eating gluten free and she said that she wouldn't even know they weren't regular waffles.
That recipezaar recipe is my waffle recipe. I make it at least once a week. I usually add some vanilla. I have added pumpkin in the past as well and decresed the amount of liquid to accomodate and then added pumpkin pie spice. It is a great recipe. I will have to try your adaptation. Recipezaar is one of my favorite gf recipe sites.
I had run out of sorghum flour, so used quinoa instead and it worked great … thanks!
These look great! I just added them to my list of gf waffles.
I made these for tonight, and they were amazing! The best waffles I've ever made, gluten-free or not. Thanks for the great recipe!
Just wanted to say that I used this recipe to make plain pancakes. I had to add about another 1/4 C sorghum and probably another 1C of Brown rice flour to make it a bit thicker. I added some cinnamon and Allspice as well as some vanilla. They taste very good.
OMG, these waffles were delicious. All my kids loved it. This is our first gluten free recipe for waffles and it is definitely a keeper. Thanks so much,
Sue
