Hong Kong Style Egg waffle- 雞蛋仔

Hi guys, Im so sorry I broke my promise on posting at least once a month but from now i'll try my best to do so. Recently I've posted photos of 雞蛋仔's and I thought it would be a good idea to tell you where to buy the machine and also how to make the batter.

The Egg waffle machine is avaliable online on Ebay and Amazon, but where I bought my machine was in Hong Kong at 759阿信屋 (To see where your nearest store is Click Here) and the price is quite reasonable. This batter makes me 懷舊香港!

Ingredients:

• 140 grams plain flour

• 7.5 grams baking powder

• 1 tablespoon custard powder

• 28 grams tapioca starch

• 2 eggs

• 140 grams white sugar

• 28 grams evaporated milk

• 140 ml still water

• 28 grams vegetable oil, for making the egg batter

• small quantity of vegetable oil, for greasing the mould

• 2 drops vanilla essence

Method:

Firstly you will need prepare the machine and let it preheat while you make the batter.

Then mix together the plain flour, baking powder, custard powder, topica starch and place aside.

Beat the 2 eggs together with a wooden stirrer and gradually add in the evaporated milk + the still water and then mix well.

Put the 2 mixtures together and place in a large measuring Cup for easy pouring and stir until no lumps are seen and the batter also until the batter is smooth.

Then add in the vanilla essence + Vegetable Oil and mix throughly.

Brush some oil into both sides of the mould.

Pour some batter into the egg waffle mould filling each individual mould with 80% of the small hole itself.Close the lid and hold tightly and flip it. Move it around to fill it all and then leave it on once side of around 3mins and flip it, leave it on the other side for 3 minutes. Open the lid and take a knife to slowly take the waffle out. (CAUTION as the machine is really hot!)

Then place on a cooling rack to not let it deflate and now its ready!
