In the 1950’s Frank Dorsa brought Eggo waffles (o riginally known as “froffles”) to the market, and frozen ( toasted) waffles, ( along with the tagline “leggo my eggo”) changed the morning of Americans. The first patent issued for a waffle iron went to Cornelius Swartwout of Troy, New York, in 1869. But it took a while before waffle irons were a considered a common appliance in American households. It was the Dutch who brought waffles, as we know them, to America. Although no one knows for sure, experts believe the waffle grid pattern that we know today came about naturally as a way to cook less batter over a greater surface area. The thicker wafer soon became known as the wafel. Around the 15 th century, Dutch wafel makers began forging rectangular plates with a grid pattern. Leavening agents added made the wafers both thicker and doughier. Similar unleavened wafers called oublies were made by the Catholic Church out of grain flour and water in Medieval Europe many years later.Įventually, other ingredients, such as spices, cream, honey, and sweet butter made their way into the oublie batter. The Greeks called these cakes obelios, and they weren’t as sweet as modern waffles. Culinary historians believe waffles can be traced all the way back to ancient Greece, where chefs made roasted flat cakes between metal plates attached attached to long wooden handles. Waffles have actually been around for long time. So when I’m developing a recipe or writing about it, research goes right along with it. I think about food often, and with that, their history. This special gluten-free flour is used to make not only ice cream mochi, but many Japanese pastries and desserts. Also known as Gyuhiko or Daifukuko, this fine flour is known for the sticky and chewy texture it can create. Mochiko is a fine rice flour that made from mochigome, a glutinous short-grain Japanese rice.
Mochiko is a sweet rice flour that you can purchase at Asian markets as well as online at Amazon. My mochi recipe uses a sweet rice mochi flour to make a modern version of an American style waffle. Moffles, by comparison, are typically made made by cutting up pre-made mochi paste into cubes and then pressing it into a hot waffle iron. But my recipe is not technically a muffle recipe. Perhaps you have heard the cleaver term “ moffles” used for describing mochi + waffles.
If you’ve new had a mochi waffle before, mochi waffles have a really interesting chewy texture on the inside with a crispy outside which makes the perfect balance if you ask me. The other ingredients used in this waffle batter is similar to other standard waffle recipes such as flour, eggs, milk, sugar, and vanilla. The main ingredient in these waffles is a sweet rice flour known as Mochiko, and this is what creates the amazing chewy texture mochi is known for. Swoon worthy chocolate chip mochi waffles, as if breakfast couldn’t get any better.
