For this recipe I just slightly adapted my Mini Sugar Cookie Donut recipe. I added a little sugar and some corn starch to make the waffles more crispy on the outside.
I used my Bella Waffle Stick Maker. I know Babycakes make one also or you can use a regular waffle maker. I just don't know how many waffles it would make.
My machine makes 6 waffle sticks at a time. I use my Tovolo Pancake Pen to fill each cavity with batter like I do for my donut maker and cake pop maker.
These baked up in about 3-4 minutes. It just depends on whether it is the first couple of batches or the last batch. When warm, straight out of the machine, the outside of the waffles did come out crispy with a soft center, like a Belgian waffle. You can eat them with some maple syrup or slather them with jam. You can probably freeze some and reheat in a toaster oven later.
I wanted to have a little fun with them, so I let them cool completely and placed them in an airtight container until I was ready to glaze them. A little glaze and sprinkles always makes dessert more fun. The waffles did lose their crispiness at this stage, but didn't lose their flavor. They came out tasting similar to the Mini Sugar Cookie Donuts. And that's not a bad thing since those donuts were oh so yummy.

ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by. I love your Lila doll! I wish I was good at sewing or crocheting. I have never had pickled okra. I just tasted okra for the first time this year after we moved south. I will have to find someone that pickles it I guess.
DeleteCould you use a Bella round Belgian waffle maker for this???
ReplyDeleteYou can use the batter to make regular waffles. I just don't know how many it will make. If you cut the waffles in 4, you can still dip one of the ends in the glaze.
DeleteCute idea. Have to try a version of these.
