Crisp and Airy Gluten-Free Waffles image

Gluten-free waffles are sometimes dense, but folding egg whites into the batter gives these waffles serious lift. Eaten hot from the iron, their edges are delicate and crisp.

Time 40m

Yield About 8 waffles

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup certified gluten-free rice flour
1/2 cup certified gluten-free chickpea flour
1/2 cup certified gluten-free tapioca flour
3 tablespoons sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon fine salt
1 cup milk
1/2 cup vegetable oil, plus more for brushing waffle iron
2 large eggs, separated
Soft unsalted butter and pure maple syrup, for topping

Steps:

  • Preheat a waffle iron to medium-high. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F (to keep cooked waffles warm). Whisk together the rice flour, chickpea flour, tapioca flour, sugar, baking powder, vanilla and salt in a large bowl. Whisk together the milk, oil and egg yolks in another bowl. Beat the egg whites in a third bowl until soft peaks form, about 3 minutes.
  • Pour the milk mixture into the rice flour mixture and gently stir until just incorporated (it's ok if there are some lumps). Fold in the egg whites.
  • Lightly brush the top and bottom of the waffle iron with oil. Fill the waffle iron about three-quarters of the way full (some waffle iron should still be showing). Close the lid gently and cook until the waffles are golden brown and crisp, 6 to 7 minutes. Keep the cooked waffles warm in the oven or covered with foil on a plate while you make the remaining waffles.
  • Serve with butter and maple syrup.
