MOCHI WAFFLES

Do you love mochi? Oh, I do!  I love anything with glutinous rice flour. Yes, to make mochi we need sweet or glutinous rice flour in order to make it sticky. I've used this flour in many of my recipes and this is actually my first to make waffles using it.

So, how did I get this idea? Hmmm... my husband and I ordered milk tea at a tea place here in California and they happened to sell Mochi Waffles so we thought of trying it. It's $5.75 for 2 small pieces. It was so good but I think that's expensive. From there, I looked for recipes online and tweaked it a bit and came up with this idea.

It's homemade and actually super easy to make! With just a few ingredients you may already have in your kitchen, you can prepare this delicious snack in minutes! You can also add ube, pandan or any extract you have available. If you'll ask me, UBE is my favorite!

No waffle maker? No problem, I have experimented and just added extra flour from the waffle recipe and voila, you have Pancake Mochi. Enjoy!

Procedure:

• In a medium bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
• In a separate bowl or cup, combine milk, egg, vanilla and extract (ube or pandan). Mix well then add to the dry ingredients.  Stir until well incorporated.
• Grease the waffle maker with butter or a light coat of cooking spray.
• Pour about 1/4 to 1/2 cup batter (depending on the size of the waffle maker), and cook until golden brown. Repeat with remaining batter.
• For the glaze, just combine all the ingredients together and mix until smooth.
• Serve with a drizzle of ube or pandan glaze and fresh berries or any fruits of choice.
• To make this into pancake version, just add 1/4 cup all-purpose flour to the dry ingredients. You can even mix all the ingredients for the waffles then mix in the flour.  To cook, grease a non-stick pan with oil or butter then pour about 1/2 cup mixture and cook over low heat. Cover the pan then wait until the top starts to bubble, flip then cook the other side for about 1-2 minutes or until cooked through, 
• Enjoy!

​

tips and notes:

• You can also just make the waffle plain then drizzle with ube or pandan extract.
• If Waffle Maker is not available, you can make Mochi Pancakes instead. Just add 1/4 cup all-purpose flour to the dry ingredients.
• Make sure to great the waffle maker or pan (if making pancakes) to avoid sticking.
