When I bought my sandwich maker with 3 interchangeable plates, one among that was this waffle maker plate. I have seen people go mad for waffles. But I knew it will be eggy and never tasted one so far. When I made this for the first time, I was not sure about the texture and I made it soft like pancakes. Then later I asked my friends, they told it should be soft and spongy inside, crisp outside. I tried from a recipe from this blog. After that, I have tried 4 times and finally could come up with a keeper recipe. This recipe is easy and comes out perfectly. You can try this out for your kids breakfast and they will sure enjoy it for a change from their regular breakfast.
Eggless waffles recipe

Ingredients
Self raising flour* – 1 cup
Baking soda – 1/4 tsp
Brown or white sugar – 1 tsp
Butter, melted- 2 tblsp
Milk – 1 cup
Vanilla essence – 1 tsp (optional)
Lemon – 1/2 tsp
Baking soda – 1/4 tsp
Brown or white sugar – 1 tsp
Butter, melted- 2 tblsp
Milk – 1 cup
Vanilla essence – 1 tsp (optional)
Lemon – 1/2 tsp
*Self raising flour can be replaced with All purpose flour (Maida) 1 cup + 2 tsp baking powder + 1/4 tsp salt.
Method
- Mix flour, sugar, baking soda (all dry ingredients) first with a whisk or you can sieve it twice too. Then add melted butter, milk at room temperature, essence if adding and whisk to a smooth batter. Lastly add lemon juice.
- Heat the waffle maker meanwhile. Grease all the parts of the plate with butter or any spray. Pour a ladle full of batter, just to cover the plate. Do not add more otherwise will overflow in the sides. So while pouring itself, pour everywhere in the plate instead pouring at a same place.
- Close the lid and cook as per the cooking time instructed in your waffle maker manual. Mine takes 3 & 1/2 to 4 minutes. Take out with help of a tong or spatula.
Notes
- Oil in place of butter also should work fine.
- Lemon helps in reacting with the baking powder and soda and makes it soft, pourous inside and crisp outside.
- Do not add more baking soda, or powder or lemon juice than mentioned for this recipe, otherwise it may not turn out well.
Waffles tastes best when hot. Serve it with honey, or maple syrup or a scoop of your favorite ice cream. Or even Nutella.

I just made waffles with this recipe, and the waffles tasted great! Super recipe with easy to follow instructions. Although, as mentioned above, they weren't as crispy or golden as I'd hoped, but tasty nonetheless. Thank you! 🙂
Adding lemon is important. It reacts with soda and gives the colour and crispiness. try next time without skipping any ingredients.
Make sure your baking soda is active and fresh 🙂 It reacts with the lemon juice and gives the browning and crispiness.
Fantastic!
Came out perfect!!! Thank u so much..
Can we make the batter beforehand and use it later say after couple of hours to make waffles?
NOt sure if the baking soda will still be active. 🙂
Is there an alternative if i don have a waffle maker?

Super tasty
Very nice recipe ! Turned out tasty for my son..thanks
Tried this recipie without skipping any ingredient but it kept sticking to the plate . I did grease the plate with butter . Wondering what went wrong ?
More baking soda/ powder or water. Also make sure to heat the waffle maker well before pouring. Do not open before it gets cooked.

Thanks a lot..Amazing recipe ..u rock
Can i use wheat flour instead of all purpose flour??
Yes you can try 🙂
Thanks for the recipe. Works great all the time
Hi, Used this recipe this morning. Turned out crisy, perfectly cooked and porous because of the lime. This recipe is a keeper. Thanks!
1 tsp is how much? 5 ml or 1.25ml
5 ml
What is the shelf life of the 'batter' if not used instantly ? And also how should I store the remaining batter if not used ? By the way thank for the recipe 🙂
Recommend to use it up right away 🙂
Should we put more water or milk to make it runny? Because mine wasn't
Can we add baking soda at the time of baking? Or maybe 20 30 mins prior? Will it give the same outcome?
Yes, please adjust water to make it pourable. Same like pancake consistency
Can I try this recipe using oven?if yes pl suggest me the temperature settings!
No idea about that, so sorry
It worked great I used multigrain atta instead of all purpose flour and used oil instead of butter, added some chocolate powder !!! TStes delicious
