So I&#8217;m documenting the recipe here, for my own benefit, really (you have no idea how many times I&#8217;ve had to print off the recipe for chocolate brownie from my own site).<\/p>\n<p>My preferred ready-made gluten free flour mix here in the UK is the Wellfoods version.  No doubt you&#8217;ll have your own preferred blend &#8211; perhaps even specially for waffles &#8211; and I&#8217;d be really interested to know what blend you use for waffles.  The problem I have is that although the waffles puff up nicely while hot, they deflate sadly once they start to cool.  I&#8217;m sure the ones my mother used to make when I was small (using non-gluten-free flour and a proper heat-on-the-hob American waffle iron, imported by her from the days when we lived in America) didn&#8217;t do this.<\/p>\n<p>What am I doing wrong?  <\/p>\n<p>I wonder if its the electric waffle iron, not the flour mix or the recipe?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Recipe<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>6 oz plain flour<br \/>\n2 tsps baking powder<br \/>\n1\/2 tsp salt<br \/>\n2 tsps sugar<br \/>\n2 eggs (separated)<br \/>\n8 fl.oz milk<br \/>\n3 oz melted butter<\/p>\n<p><strong>Method<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Combine the dry ingredients.<\/p>\n<p>Mix the egg yolks and milk, then add the melted butter.
