Ube waffles
Crisp at the edges, soft in the middle, golden and purple in their pockets: ube waffles are a breakfast to celebrate.
An iron, a batter, and the scent of vanilla fills the kitchen.
The celebratory breakfast
The waffle plays on contrast: crisp outside, tender inside.
Melted butter brings the crunch, eggs and milk the softness, and ube dresses it all in a gourmet purple. Served warm with icing sugar or fruit, they turn an ordinary morning into a special moment.
A waffle's pockets aren't just for looks: they increase the crisp surface and hold syrup perfectly.

Crispness is earned in the cooking.
Let the waffle brown well before opening the iron: opening too soon tears it and leaves it soft. A really hot iron, lightly oiled at the start, stops it sticking. Serve straight away, while it's still crisp.
Keep the waffles crisp in the oven at 100 °C, set on a rack, while you cook the rest of the batch.
