Notes

  • The baking powder — Don’t go overboard with the baking powder. Although the recommended amount is needed so that your mochi waffles will be fluffy and cute, if you use it a bit too much, your mochi waffles will lose their signature chewiness.
 
  • Short on time? — If your time is tight, you can also make mochi waffles ahead of time. Just prepare the batter and store it. When you’re good to go, cook the batter in your waffle iron.
 
  • Not crispy enough? — If you didn’t find our mochi waffle recipe crispy enough, add approximately 1 tbsp. cornstarch with 1 ½ cups of all-purpose flour.
