Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 cups chickpea flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- pinch of salt
- 1 cup water
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine together chickpea flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir until everything is well incorporated.
- Next, add water into the bowl. Whisk until a relatively smooth batter forms.
- Let the batter rest for about 10-15 minutes.
- In the meantime, preheat your waffle iron. Grease the plates by brushing or spraying on some cooking oil.
- Give batter a stir, adding a splash of water if it is too thick. Batter will be on the thicker side, but still pourable.
- Pour in about ½ cup of batter (or as needed), and cook until the indicator light switches color. Alternatively, wait until steam stops dissipating out from the waffle maker.
- Repeat for the remaining batter, and serve with whatever you fancy!
Notes
Helpful tips
- Preheat and lightly grease the waffle iron - A preheated waffle iron ensures even cooking and reduces batter sticking. Lightly greasing the plates with spray oil or brushing on oil further prevents sticking.
- DO NOT skip resting the batter - Resting the batter for 10-15 minutes ensures that chickpea flour is properly rehydrated, yielding moist and tender waffles.
- Storing - Waffles can be refrigerated for 3-4 days or frozen for 3 months. Reheat in a toaster for 2-3 minutes or oven for 5-10 minutes.
