Instructions
-
In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, custard powder, and tapioca starch. Set aside.
-
Set up a double boiler over medium heat. Add the eggs and sugar to the top bowl, whisking vigorously for about 5 minutes until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture has thickened slightly.
-
Add the water and evaporated milk to the egg mixture and stir to combine.
-
Slowly add the dry ingredients to egg mixture and mix until well combined.
-
Stir in the vanilla and vegetable oil.
-
Pour the batter through a fine-mesh strainer into a clean bowl to catch any lumps.
-
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the batter rest in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or overnight.
-
Transfer the batter to a spouted liquid measuring cup for easy pouring.
-
Set an egg waffle machine and set it to 400 degrees F. Grease lightly with oil. Add about 1 cup of batter to the machine and cook for 2½ minutes, until crispy and slightly brown.
-
Using a rubber spatula, transfer the waffle to a wire rack to cool slightly. To achieve a round shape, lay the waffle over a curved surface, such as a rolling pin, to cool. Repeat with the remaining batter.
-
Serve when the shell has cooled and become crisp but is still slightly warm. Enjoy!
