Description
A recipe for making waffles with ube, resulting in a crispy exterior and a tender interior.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs, separated
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 1/2 cup melted unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup ube halaya (purple yam jam)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together egg yolks, milk, melted butter, ube halaya, and vanilla extract until mixed.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
- In a clean bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the batter until no white streaks remain.
- Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s directions. Lightly grease if necessary.
- Pour the batter onto the hot waffle iron and cook until golden brown and crisp, usually 4 to 6 minutes.
- Remove the waffle and repeat with the remaining batter.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
- Ube halaya sweetness can vary; adjust sugar in the batter if your jam is very sweet.
- For extra crispiness, let the batter rest for 10 minutes before cooking.
- You can use ube extract instead of halaya, reducing the amount to 1 teaspoon and adding 1 tablespoon of sugar.
