Steps

Read instructions and get ready to cook

1
Mix the dry ingredients

In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, tapioca starch, baking powder, granulated sugar, and salt until well combined.

2
Mix the wet ingredients

In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, evaporated milk, melted unsalted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.

3
Combine wet and dry ingredients

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Mix until a smooth batter forms.

4
Preheat the egg waffle pan

Preheat a Hong Kong-style egg waffle pan over medium heat. Brush the pan with a thin layer of vegetable oil.

5
Cook the egg waffles

Pour about 3/4 cup of the batter into the preheated egg waffle pan, spreading it evenly. Close the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the egg waffle is golden brown and crispy. Flip the pan and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes on the other side.

6
Remove and repeat

Carefully remove the egg waffle from the pan and place it on a wire rack to cool slightly. Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the pan between each waffle.

7
Serve

Serve the Hong Kong-style egg waffles warm, either plain or with your favorite toppings, such as chocolate sauce, fruit, or ice cream. Enjoy the crispy, bubbly texture and the sweet, delicate flavor of this iconic Chinese street food!
