Locate a waffle-matic mechanism. Prepare it to receive batter by giving it a light coating of canola or vegetable oil. Having the waffle mech ready to go right when you finish your batter helps make fluffier waffles. The longer a waffle batter sits, the flatter the waffles will be.
If using whole flax seeds, you can use the spice grinder to create a fine meal before measuring out the appropriate amount.
Stir the ground flax seed into the warm water. Set it aside for at least 3 minutes.
Whisk together your dry ingredients- the rice flour, tapioca flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
After the flax seed and water has set for at least 3 minutes, add the coconut milk and molasses and mix well.
Combine your dry and wet ingredients. The batter should not be completely smooth- a slightly lumpy batter yeilds a tastier waffle. This is also the time to add in any desired nuts, fruits, or what-have-you's.
When your waffle machine is ready to go, *spoon in the batter. Close the waffle iron and cook according to it's particular specifications.
*Be careful not to overfill- as the batter cooks, it will fluff up, causing scalding steam and batter to ooze out the sides. You can use a 1/3 cup measuring cup to add the batter if you like. If the waffles are smaller than you'd like, you can add more batter for subsequent waffles.
I was VERY happy with this recipe. So much that I would use it over any non-gluten free recipe any day!
