Bubble Waffles are a fun and tasty bubble tea shop snack made from a waffle custard flavored batter and cooked in machines with a special egg shaped mold. I've been wanting to make these at home for a very long time and it turns out, once you have the machine or the molds to cook over the stovetop, it's very easy to make.
Sometimes called egg waffles, they're slightly crispy and can be soft and chewy on the inside of the egg depending on how long they've been cooked for. I like to pair my bubble waffles with a cup of plain milk tea to keep things simple.
Tips: The batter can be made in advance and stored in the refrigerator for 1-2 days. When making the waffles, keep in mind that the batter will puff up and expand as it cooks - be careful not to overfill as it will start oozing out from the sides making a small mess for you to clean up later. (Unfortunately, I learned this from personal experience 😔)
Where to buy the equipment? If you live in the US you can find a few options for either electric makers or cast aluminum bubble waffle makers/molds here: http://amzn.to/2oZ6e8k The waffle maker I used in my YouTube video tutorial can be purchased here: http://amzn.to/2o7j0N8
