Cheese Mochi Waffles
This delicious Cheese Mochi Waffles Recipe- also known as Moffles!- is crisp on the outside and soft and oozy on the inside! Thanks to the glutinous rice flour, these waffles stay crispy and don't become soggy as easily. On the table in 15-20 minutes, they're perfect for breakfast or brunch! (This recipe works with both a traditional and vertical waffle maker. It is NOT just putting a mochi in a waffle machine!) (Gluten-Free)

Ingredients
Quantities are shown as originally provided.
- 17 Tablespoons glutinous rice flour (i.e. 1 Cup + 1 Tablespoon. Substitute: mochiko flour)
- ⅓ Cup parmesan cheese (grated. Do not substitute with shredded cheese)
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- Pinch turmeric powder
- Pinch Nutritional Yeast (Optional, to intensify the color and make it more savory.)
- 1 egg (a large one, about 50g, beat well )
- ⅚ Cup whole milk ((200g) Use only ½ cup of milk if using a regular flat waffle maker.)
- 2 Tablespoon vegetable oil (Don't use olive oil. Make sure it's a neutral flavoured one.)
- Truffle Oil (Optional. This just makes the flavor nicer.)
- Vegetable oil spray (Substitute: melted butter)
Instructions
- 1
Pre-heat your machine. I cook my waffles on 3 or 4 but you can choose your preferred level of toastiness.Note: for Cuisinart, you'll know the machine is pre-heating if the red light is on. If there is no light, the machine is not on.

Whilst the machine is heating, beat the egg well.
- 3
Mix the dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl then add the wet ingredients and mix well.
- 4
Mix till your batter has no lumps. It will be quite runny since you need to pour it down the vertical spout. (If it's too thick, it won't go down.)
- 5
Once your Cuisinart waffle maker has pre-heated, the green light will turn on and it will make a loud beep sound.

Use the Cuisinart waffle scoop to scoop up the batter then slowly pour it down the spout of the machine.Note: It's important to use the scoop that came with the machine as it's the exact amount needed to fill the machine. This way, it won't leak or overflow (from excess batter.) Be careful. DO NOT OVERFILL OR THE MACHINE MAY POP OPEN. (I suggest not pouring in the entire scoopful of batter.)

When the waffles are cooked, the machine will beep again. Use an oven glove or tea cloth to protect your hands then carefully open the machine. Note: Be careful as there is a lot of hot steam and the machine is burning hot everywhere except the handle clip!

As above but you'll use less milk so the batter is less watery.
