Making eggless waffles requires adjustments to temperature and cooking time. Banana or commercially produced egg substitutes can replace eggs, but adding starch or ground flaxseed can help bind the batter. Additional flour may be needed to compensate for wet ingredients, and more fat may be necessary to prevent sticking. Adjusting the temperature and being gentle with the batter can result in a crispy waffle.
Making an eggless waffle may require some adjustments to the temperature of the waffle and the cooking time. A cook may decide to replace the egg in an eggless waffle with an ingredient that binds and rises, such as bananas or a commercially produced egg substitute. As with standard waffles, the batter does not need to be stirred. More fat may be needed if waffle is clinging to waffle.
Eggs commonly act as a binder in baked goods, and waffles are no exception. When making a waffle without eggs, the waffle may crack when the cook opens the waffle, because the batter hasn’t had a chance to bind together and is too soft. Adding starch or a commercially made egg substitute can result in a waffle that stays intact. Some cooks use ground flaxseed as a substitute for eggs in waffles.
Some egg substitutes, like banana or applesauce, make the batter too wet and result in a soggy waffle. To compensate for this, a cook may add a little more flour to the batter. The waffle maker may also require a longer cooking time.
An eggless waffle usually takes a few minutes longer to cook than a regular waffle. The waffle may stick to the iron if it is not cooked yet. When making eggless waffles, the waffles should be left in the iron for a minute or two after the iron indicates the waffle is ready.
Another reason an eggless waffle may stick to the iron is because there isn’t as much fat in it as there is in a regular waffle maker. To compensate for this, a cook may add a small amount of oil to the batter. He may also want to coat the iron itself with a thin layer of oil or nonstick cooking spray.
Adjusting the waffle temperature can result in crispier, egg-free waffles. A higher temperature cooks the surface of the waffle better. Adding a little granulated sugar to the batter can also produce a crispier waffle.
When making eggless waffles, the cook should be gentle with the batter. Waffle batter that is overmixed results in a hard, chewy waffle rather than a light, crunchy one. To mix waffle batter, a cook would need to gently fold in the flour and dry the ingredients to the wet. The dough shouldn’t be perfectly smooth when mixed, and a few lumps of flour are ideal.
