These golden brown Hong Kong Egg Waffles sweet with crisp edges and spongy bubbles. They can be eaten on a plate topped with maple syrup, butter, fresh fruit or cream cheese spread or they can be used as a waffle cone and filled with ice cream!
Place sliced strawberries in a medium bowl along with the sugar and lemon juice. Stir to coat then set aside until needed
Making the Honey Lemon Topping
Using an electric hand mixer on low-medium speed, blend the cream cheese, cool whip, honey and lemon zest in a mixing bowl until combined and fluffy. 1-2 minutes
Making the Batter
Turn the Bubble Waffle Maker on
Whisk all dry ingredients together in a large bowl
Whisk the wet ingredients together in a medium bowl until fully combined
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk until large lumps are gone. You will still see small lumps, that is okay. Do not over mix
Spray both sides of the waffle machine with non-stick cooking spray then pour ¾ cup of waffle batter into the bottom of the pan
Use a spoon to ensure batter is in every bubble leaving no gaps. Close the lid and cook 2 minutes. Flip the waffle maker over and cook an additional 2 minutes on the other side
Remove the waffle from the machine and place it on a plate to be served or in an oven heated to 160°F to hold until the rest are made
Repeat this process with the remaining batter
Topping the Bubble Waffle
Serve each waffle on a plate. Top each one with honey lemon spread, strawberries and crushed pistachios. Serve immediately while warm
Notes
You will need to have a Bubble Waffle Maker. You cannot use a regular waffle iron.
Each machine is different but I use about ¾ cup of batter per waffle. Make sure to spread the batter around with a spoon to fill each bubble and have no gaps.
It's likely that some waffle batter may spill over the sides of the pan. Use a paper towel to wipe it away.
Cooking times can vary for each special waffle iron. I cook mine for 1-2 minutes per side but it's best to check the manufacturer's instructions. Be sure to check for doneness and a golden brown color on your first waffle to get an idea of timing.
For best results spray the Bubble Waffle maker with a little bit of non-stick cooking spray on the top and bottom or wipe with a little oil. You can use vegetable oil, olive oil or peanut oil.
Set your oven on 160°F and keep your waffles warm as you make the rest of them.
