Step-by-step
- Mix all ingredients together with a whisk, and pour into waffle iron, in batches.
- Add a bit more milk if too thick or a bit of Garfava flour if too runny. Add more oil if too dry or if the waffles stick to the waffle iron.
Garbanzo fava flour provides the sturdy protein network required to hold these heavy waffles together without standard wheat gluten. Dense bean flours absorb moisture slowly. Allow the mixed batter to rest for ten minutes before pouring it into the iron so the starches fully hydrate. Adjust the thickness incrementally with tablespoons of milk or flour until the batter pours in a slow, steady ribbon.
Freezing and Reheating
Cooked waffles freeze exceptionally well for quick morning breakfasts. Cool the batches completely on a wire rack to prevent steam condensation inside the storage container. Layer parchment paper between individual waffles before placing them into a freezer bag. Reheat frozen waffles directly in a standard toaster on a medium setting for three to four minutes until the exterior regains its crisp edge.
Managing Leftovers
Leftover waffles stored in the refrigerator retain structural integrity for up to three days. Crisp refrigerated portions in a hot skillet with a minimal brush of oil to restore the crust. Avoid microwaving unless a soft, pliable texture is specifically desired, as microwave heat releases moisture and makes the starches limp.
