Growing up, Woldy Reyes coveted the Eggo waffles that his peers ate for breakfast. “I’m first-generation Filipinx American, and Eggos were not something we had at home,” Reyes says. So when he was invited to pop up at his friend Eric See’s Brooklyn restaurant, Ursula, he knew he had to do a waffle. This recipe is inspired by bibingka, a Filipino cake generally made with glutinous rice flour that his mother would make for breakfast on special occasions. This rice flour is the secret to these waffles’ delightful chew. Top them with fresh fruit, toasted coconut flakes, and coconut yogurt to keep them vegan and gluten-free.
Standard and Belgian waffle makers will work for this recipe. Read more about why the Presto FlipSide is our No. 1 pick.
