A bubble waffle (also called egg waffle or Hong Kong egg puff) is a fun, puffy street snack from Hong Kong that’s become super popular worldwide. It’s unique because instead of flat squares like regular waffles, the batter cooks into little golden bubbles that are crisp on the outside and soft, airy inside. 🍯🥞
Here’s a quick overview:
Ingredients (basic batter):
-
1 cup all-purpose flour
-
2 tsp baking powder
-
2 tbsp cornstarch
-
2 tbsp milk powder (optional, for richness)
-
2/3 cup sugar
-
3 large eggs
-
1/2 cup water
-
1/2 cup evaporated milk (or regular milk)
-
1 tsp vanilla extract
-
2 tbsp melted butter or neutral oil
How it’s made:
-
Whisk together the wet ingredients (eggs, milk, vanilla, melted butter).
-
In a separate bowl, mix dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, cornstarch, sugar).
-
Combine wet and dry until smooth (don’t overmix).
-
Preheat a bubble waffle maker (special egg-shaped waffle iron).
-
Pour in batter, close, and cook until golden brown and puffy (about 3–5 minutes).
-
Serve warm, often folded into a cone shape and filled with ice cream, fruit, chocolate, or whipped cream.
✨ They’re crispy, slightly chewy, and perfect for creative dessert combos.
