Ingredients

3 servings

  • 1 cup all purpose flour, plus 2 tbsp
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 tablespoon custard powder
  • 3 tablespoons tapioca starch, plus 1 1/2 teaspoons
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup sugar, plsu 3 tablespoons
  • ½ cup water, plus 2 tablespoons
  • 1 tablespoon evaporated milk, plus 2¼ teaspoons
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • oil, for greasing waffle machine

Instructions

  • In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, custard powder, and tapioca starch. Set aside.
  • Set up a double boiler over medium heat. Add the eggs and sugar to the top bowl, whisking vigorously until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture has thickened slightly, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the water and evaporated milk to the egg mixture and stir to combine.
  • Slowly add the dry ingredients to egg mixture and mix until well combined.
  • Stir in the vanilla and vegetable oil.
  • Pour the batter through a fine-mesh strainer into a clean bowl to catch any lumps.
  • Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the batter rest in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or overnight.
  • Transfer the batter to a spouted liquid measuring cup for easy pouring.
  • Set an egg waffle machine and set to 400°F (200°C). Grease lightly with oil. Add about 1 cup of batter to the machine and cook for 2½ minutes, until crispy and slightly brown. Using a rubber spatula, transfer the waffle to a wire rack to cool slightly. To achieve a round shape, lay the waffle over a curved surface, such as a rolling pin, to cool. Repeat with the remaining batter.
  • Serve when the shell has cooled and become crisp, but is still slightly warm.
  • Enjoy!
