Gluten-free waffles cooked in a waffle iron.
Kitchen-testing note: A documented cooking test is pending. Timings in the method are estimates; finished yield and results have not been confirmed in our current testing log. Nutrition figures and unsupported historical rating totals have been removed.
Before you cook
Total cooking time depends on your iron and the number of batches. The listed cornstarch is already included; do not add a second spoonful from the former tip. Syrup, fruit and whipped cream are optional additions.
Choosing gluten-free ingredients
Check the exact products you buy, especially flour, oats, bread, pasta, sauces and broth. Gluten-free labeling and third-party certification are different. A recipe page or scanner cannot guarantee a dish’s preparation. Use clean equipment and protect ingredients from contact with gluten-containing foods. Gluten-free does not mean free of dairy, eggs, nuts or other allergens. See the FDA guide to gluten-free labels.
2x and 3x show total ingredients for two or three separate batches. Cook each batch using the original method: amounts written in the steps, pan sizes and cooking times apply to one batch.
-
1Preheat and Prep Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Lightly grease it with non-stick spray or brush with melted butter to prevent sticking.
-
2Mix Dry Ingredients In a large bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, sugar, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.
-
3Combine Wet Ingredients In a separate bowl, beat the eggs. Add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract, mixing well.
-
4Make the Batter Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined; the batter should be slightly lumpy but without large pockets of dry flour.
-
5Cook the Waffles Pour batter onto the preheated waffle iron—usually about 1/3 to 1/2 cup, depending on your iron size. Close the lid and cook until waffles are golden brown and crisp, about 4-6 minutes.
-
6Keep Warm or Serve If not serving immediately, place cooked waffles on a wire rack set over a baking sheet in a warm oven (around 200°F) to keep them crispy. Avoid stacking them, which traps steam.
Handling ingredients
Do not taste raw batter or dough. Gluten-free flour is not automatically ready to eat. See FDA flour handling guidance. Let baked goods cool as directed. Storage depends on the finished ingredients; cream-cheese frosting, custard and perishable toppings need refrigeration.
