You may be surprised to hear that waffles have been enjoyed by people for centuries. With our recipe, you can cook delicious, crispy and fluffy waffles, without baking powder! The great thing with waffles is that they are so easy to make, and you can rustle them up with a few ingredients found in your cupboards.Ī common misconception about waffles is that they have to be cooked with baking powder, which is not true. Whatever you’re cooking starts to expand and rise immediately. When you mix baking powder with a liquid, a chemical reaction happens that causes carbon dioxide (CO2) to release into the batter. But first, what is baking powder? Baking powder is made from an acid such as cream of tartar, cornstarch, and sodium bicarbonate, which is the same thing as baking soda.īaking powder serves as a dry chemical leavener that helps the bread to rise. While baking powder is an important ingredient for making some quick breads, you can make many breads (and certainly pancakes and waffles) without it. You can have them your way, with fresh fruit and syrup, or even bacon and eggs! Or you can go for the real deal and make some fluffy whipped cream clouds! Over-beat your whipped cream just a tad to make it a little ruffle-y like clouds.Waffles are one of our favorite breakfast staples. (Or you can use Ziplocks and just cut the end off, OR just spoon in the batter.)įor extra credit points, you can also make some cute blue clouds using the blue batter. Then pop each color of batter into a piping bag.

Be sure to portion your batter so that the larger colors (like red and orange) have a little extra batter. These cute waffles are actually much easier than you think, and are a blast to make! Then top them with some whipped cream “clouds” and my favorite little “treasure” at the end of the rainbow – some Lucky Charms!įor my batter use gel food coloring to make nice and vibrant colors.
