Ingredients

Proteins

  • 2 large eggs

Sauces & Seasonings

  • 150 g plain flour
  • 1 tbsp tapioca starch
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tbsp custard powder
  • 100 g white sugar
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil

Other

  • 100 ml evaporated milk
  • 100 ml water

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a large bowl, sift together plain flour, tapioca starch, baking powder, and custard powder. Add white sugar and mix well.

  2. 2

    In a separate bowl, whisk eggs until light and frothy. Add evaporated milk, water, and vegetable oil to the eggs and mix thoroughly.

  3. 3

    Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, whisking continuously until a smooth batter forms. Ensure there are no lumps.

  4. 4

    Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the batter rest in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This allows the flour to hydrate and improves texture.

  5. 5

    Heat your egg waffle maker (gai daan jai machine) until it is hot. Lightly brush the plates with vegetable oil if it's not non-stick.

  6. 6

    Pour the batter into the heated waffle maker, filling each sphere about 80% full. Close the lid.

  7. 7

    Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side, then flip the waffle maker and cook for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown and crispy. The cooking time may vary depending on your machine.

  8. 8

    Carefully remove the cooked egg waffle from the machine. Place it on a wire rack to cool slightly and crisp up further before serving. Serve warm.
