Dairy and Egg Free Waffles

As a follow up to my previous post, here is a well-tested recipe for waffles that are both dairy and egg free. When Allergy Kid was younger he was also allergic to eggs (fortunately he has outgrown this allergy). We tried a number of different things, before perfecting this recipe. Like the previous waffle recipe, this is based on Allergy Grandma's recipe.

Milk and Egg Free Waffles

2 tablespoons ground flax seed
6 tablespoons warm water
1 3/4 cups of all-purpose flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 3/4 cups of plain or vanilla soy milk
1/2 cup of vegetable oil

Put six tablespoons of warm water in a small bowl. Mix in flax seed and let sit while you continue the recipe. The mixture should become gelatinous.

Mix dry ingredients in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, combine soy milk and oil. Stir well. Mix in flax seed mixture. Quickly add liquid ingredients to the dry ingredients, stir just until mixed. There may be small lumps. Do not over mix. Bake on a hot waffle iron until golden brown. Serve hot.
