Ingredients
- 250 grams Gluten-Free All-Purpose Flour
- 1 teaspoon Xanthan Gum
- 50 grams Granulated Sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 7 grams Instant Yeast
- 120 grams Unsalted Butter
- 120 milliliters Milk
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 20 grams Butter (for waffle iron)
- 60 milliliters Maple Syrup or Honey
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour, xanthan gum, sugar, salt, and yeast. Mix well to ensure the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
Step 2
Warm the milk to about 110°F (43°C) and add it to the dry mixture. Then, add the egg and vanilla extract. Mix until the dough starts to form.
Step 3
Cut the unsalted butter into small cubes and mix it into the dough. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until it's smooth and elastic.
Step 4
Place the dough in an oiled bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Step 5
Once the dough has risen, knead it again briefly to let out the air. Roll it out into a large rectangle and fold it into thirds, like a brochure. Rotate the dough 90 degrees and repeat this rolling and folding process one more time to create layers.
Step 6
Cover the dough and place it in the refrigerator to chill for at least 30 minutes. This helps in developing the flaky layers.
Step 7
Preheat the waffle iron. While the iron is heating, take the dough out from the fridge and roll it into a rectangle about 1 cm thick. Cut it into rectangles or slices suitable for your waffle iron.
Step 8
Lightly butter the waffle iron to prevent sticking. Place a piece of dough on the hot iron and close the lid. Cook for about 3-5 minutes or until the croffle is golden brown and crispy on the outside.
Step 9
Repeat the cooking process for the rest of the dough pieces.
Step 10
Serve the gluten-free croffles warm with a drizzle of maple syrup or honey for added sweetness.
