With this recipe, we're going to prepare delicious homemade gluten-free waffles very easily . To make them, we'll use eggs, butter, and sugar, and we'll substitute wheat flour with a mixture of cornstarch, potato starch, and rice flour.

When selecting gluten-free flours and starches, we recommend choosing products certified under the Crossed Grain Trademark, as this certification provides a level of safety and confidence that is essential for people with celiac disease.

In addition, we'll use a little xanthan gum, which will give the batter elasticity and prevent the waffles from crumbling. This ingredient is readily available nowadays in the gluten-free or diet sections of large supermarkets, health food stores, and online retailers . It's also worth remembering that to ensure this type of recipe is completely gluten-free, you'll need to check the labels of all ingredients, including any accompaniments, and avoid buying in bulk.

As you can see in the pictures, we'll get waffles that are identical to traditional ones , with no loss in finish or flavor. Plus, if you want to make them lactose-free, you just need to substitute margarine for the butter.

To make gluten-free waffles, we will use an electric waffle iron, placing a little batter in each cavity and cooking it until it is very soft inside and crispy outside, especially if served freshly made.

You can serve the waffles with whatever you like. We opted to serve them with slightly warmed chocolate cream (so it spreads better) and some chopped pistachios.
