Notes

Cassava Flour - I get many messages about people not liking the texture or a recipe is not acting like it should as written, and here is where the problem probably lies.
How to Measure Cassava Flour
Cassava flour settles A LOT. Here is my trick if you do not want to have to bring out your kitchen scale to measure it. Whisk, whisk and whisk some more. What does that mean? When I measure cassava flour, I always do the following steps.
  1. Whisk the flour in whatever container you are storing it or the bag.
  2. Spoon the desired amount into a measuring cup to measure.
  3. Pour that into a larger bowl or measuring cup and whisk it again. You will notice when you whisk it, the amount increases. This is because the cassava has settled, so you measured more than what you wanted for the recipe.
  4. If you have more, merely remove the excess and repeat until you have the amount you need.
Psyllium Husk Powder - This might be a new ingredient for you, but trust me, it makes a world of difference when it comes to getting the right texture in grain-free cooking and baking. It helps to absorb just enough extra liquid in recipes that make them act slightly more like gluten-filled foods.
Make dairy-free waffles: I've had luck making these with dairy-free margarine and my favorite coconut milk. I do not suggest using ghee for this recipe because it makes them oilier and not as fluffy.
Make these waffles egg-free: I have had luck using both an egg replacer as well as using a flax egg in these waffles.
