Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup evaporated milk
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • A pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your bubble waffle maker and lightly grease both sides.
  2. In one bowl, whisk flour, cornstarch, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, beat eggs, evaporated milk, water, oil, and vanilla extract.
  4. Combine the wet and dry mixtures gently until smooth.
  5. Pour enough batter to cover the molds, then close the maker carefully.
  6. Cook for 2–3 minutes per side, flipping halfway, until golden brown.
  7. Let cool slightly on a wire rack before serving with your favorite toppings.

Notes

  • Do not overmix the batter to maintain a light texture.
  • For crispier waffles, let them rest briefly on a wire rack after cooking.
  • Batter can be made a day ahead and refrigerated.
