Tips for a better gluten-free Belgian waffle

  • For best results, let your ingredients reach room temperature before you begin.
  • Measuring is always important, but gluten-free recipes tend to have a particularly delicate balance of ingredients. Make sure you measure your gluten-free flour carefully!
  • Use caution while pouring and do not overfill your waffle iron—it will make a mess and waste precious batter.
  • Need a quick trick to know if your waffle is done? Once the steam stops coming out of your closed waffle iron, it should be ready.
  • Enjoy your waffles when they’re hot off the press—this will keep them from going soggy. If you made too many, freeze them as soon as possible to retain freshness.
  • Avoid using abrasive metal utensils to remove your waffle from the iron. This will scratch the iron and may affect the quality of your waffles in the future.
  • If you don’t have an iron, you can also use this batter for pancakes!
