Ingredients

• 1 egg
• ½ cup milk (I use unsweetened coconut milk; use the dairy-free or dairy milk of your choice.)
• ½ cup sour cream (Use dairy-full, dairy-free or substitute an equal amount your favorite dairy or dairy-free plain unsweetened yogurt for the sour cream. I do not recommend a 0% fat product, but you’re free to experiment with what you like.)
• 3 Tablespoons melted butter, dairy-free butter substitute, coconut oil or other oil of your choice (You will end up with a richer flavor by using butter or dairy-free butter substitute.)
• 1 ¼ cups Gigi’s Everyday Gluten-Free Flour Blend (Gum-Free) or use your favorite gum-free gluten-free all purpose flour blend
• ¾ teaspoon baking powder
• ¼ teaspoon baking soda
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• 1 Tablespoon sugar (Use granulated white, brown or coconut sugar; a liquid sugar like honey, agave nectar or pure maple syrup will work, too. Or you may omit sugar if you prefer. If making savory waffles, definitely omit sugar.)
• Oil for waffle iron

Instructions

1. Brush the waffle iron with oil and heat according to manufacturers’ directions.
2. In a mixing bowl, whisk egg; add sour cream; whisk again until smooth.
3. Pour melted butter over egg/sour cream mixture and whisk until fat is incorporated.
4. Add milk and whisk.
5. In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking powder, soda, salt and sugar; whisk to combine.
6. Add dry ingredients to liquid ingredients and whisk until batter is smooth.
7. Spoon batter onto hot waffle iron until all batter is used.
8. Cook waffles according to manufacturers’ recommendations.
9. Serve hot with your favorite toppings: fruit, cream, dairy free whipped topping, pure maple syrup, honey or my Homemade Cinnamon Honey Butter (dairy or dairy-free option).
10. You may also enjoy using these waffles for savory sandwiches – simply omit the sugar in the recipe and cook as directed, then fill with your favorite sandwich fillings!
