Waffles that are crispy on the outside, soft and airy on the inside, topped with melted savory cheese and a drizzle of sweet honey that makes every bite the perfect sweet-savory combo. Perfect as a special breakfast dish or an afternoon snack with a warm cup of tea. Foolproof, since the texture is guaranteed to be maximally crispy thanks to a special trick in the batter.

  • 250 grams medium-protein all-purpose flour
  • 30 grams cornstarch
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 40 grams granulated sugar
  • 1/2 tsp fine salt
  • 2 eggs
  • 350 ml full cream milk
  • 80 grams unsalted butter, melted
  • 150 grams shredded cheddar cheese
  • 100 ml pure honey
  • 2 tbsp cooking oil, for greasing the waffle iron

๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿณ Instructions

  1. 1 In a large bowl, combine the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Whisk well so there are no lumps.
  2. 2 In a separate bowl, beat the eggs lightly, then add the milk and melted butter. Stir until well combined.
  3. 3 Pour the liquid mixture into the flour mixture little by little while gently stirring with a spatula until the batter is smooth with no lumps. Don't overmix so the waffles stay crispy.
  4. 4 Add 100 grams of the shredded cheddar cheese to the batter and mix well. Let the batter rest for 10 minutes so the baking powder can work optimally.
  5. 5 Preheat the electric waffle iron until the indicator light shows it's hot, then lightly brush it with cooking oil using a pastry brush.
  6. 6 Pour enough batter into the center of the waffle iron (about 100 ml per waffle), close it tightly, and cook for 4-5 minutes or until steam stops coming out and the waffle's surface turns golden brown and feels crispy to the touch.
  7. 7 Carefully remove the waffle using chopsticks or a fork so you don't damage its airy texture, then place it on a wire rack so the steam can escape and the waffle stays crispy (not soggy from trapped steam).
  8. 8 Repeat the cooking process until the batter is used up, greasing the waffle iron with oil every 2-3 batches.
  9. 9 Serve the waffles warm, topped with the remaining 50 grams of shredded cheddar cheese, then drizzle with pure honey to taste just before eating so the cheese melts slightly from the waffle's heat.

๐Ÿ’ก Tips

โ€ข Don't overmix the waffle batter, as this will make the texture hard and prevent it from becoming perfectly airyโ€”just stir until evenly combined.

โ€ข Always place cooked waffles on a wire rack instead of stacking them directly on a plate, so the hot steam can escape and the waffles don't turn soggy.

โ€ข For an even crispier result, make sure to preheat the waffle iron fully to its maximum heat before pouring in the first batch of batter.

โ€ข If you like a stronger savory flavor, add a little grated Parmesan cheese to the batter before cooking.
