How to make bubble waffles
Bubble waffles, also known as egg waffles, egg puffs, puffles, or gai daan jai, are a popular street food snack that originated in Hong Kong in the 1950s. They are commonly served wrapped like a waffle cone, filled with whipped cream, fruit, ice cream, or other sweet treats. They can also be eaten flat, like a traditional waffle, or pulled apart and eaten in a bowl. Bubble waffles have a unique appearance, resembling a web of spheres or bubble wrap, and they taste sweeter and eggier than regular waffles.
To make bubble waffles, you will need a bubble waffle maker, which can be electric or stovetop. The electric version is easier to control the temperature, but either will work. You will also need a recipe for the waffle batter. A basic recipe includes flour, sugar, baking powder, cornstarch, salt, eggs, milk, water, oil, and vanilla extract. You can also add cocoa powder and mix-ins such as crushed cookies or cereal to make chocolate waffles.
Once you have your batter, heat up your waffle maker according to the manufacturer's instructions. Spray both sides of the waffle maker with cooking spray to prevent sticking. Pour the batter into the waffle maker, filling each well. Be careful not to overfill the waffle maker. Cook the waffle according to the manufacturer's instructions, typically for around 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.
If you want to serve your bubble waffle as a cone, be sure to shape it while it's still warm, as they firm up as they cool. You can fill your cone with ice cream, fruit, chocolate sauce, walnuts, whipped cream, sprinkles, or any other toppings you desire. You can also eat them flat with maple syrup and fruit or any other sweet toppings.

How to form waffle shells
To form waffle shells, you will need a Waffle Puff Pan. This pan is square and has a well to catch any batter spills. It also comes with a nylon fork to help remove the waffles once they are cooked.
Firstly, you will need to prepare your waffle mixture. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, cornstarch, and salt. In a blender, combine one banana, an egg, milk, melted butter, and vanilla. Pour the liquid mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. At this point, you can add any extra ingredients you like, such as rainbow sprinkles, or cookies.
Next, you will need to prepare your Waffle Puff Pan. Lightly spray each side of the pan with cooking oil and preheat the pan on medium heat for about 3 minutes.
Once the pan is heated, you can start cooking your waffles. Pour about 3/4 cup of waffle batter into the pan, filling all the bubbles. Close the pan and flip it over. Cook the waffle for 2 to 4 minutes, then flip the waffle maker again and cook for another 2 to 4 minutes, or until golden brown.
Once the waffle is cooked, open the pan and use the nylon fork to remove the waffle. Allow the waffle to cool for about a minute so that it can crisp up. Then, you can form the waffle into a taco shell shape. Repeat this process with the remaining batter.
Your waffle shells are now ready to be filled with your favorite toppings! Some popular choices include ice cream, bananas, strawberries, chocolate sauce, walnuts, whipped cream, and sprinkles. Enjoy!

How to avoid messes
To avoid messes when using the Waffle Puff Pan, follow these steps:
Firstly, ensure your stovetop is protected from batter spills by using the square pan, which has a well to catch any mess. This will prevent any spills from ending up on your stovetop. Before placing the pan on your stovetop, consult the appliance manufacturer's instruction manual, especially if you are using a flat glass or ceramic cooktop.
Next, prepare your pan by spraying it with cooking oil or spray. Allow the pan to heat up before adding your batter. Be careful not to overfill the pan, as this can lead to messy spills and uneven cooking. Fill the bubbles in the pan and close it gently but firmly.
When cooking, be mindful of the handle. Keep it away from the heat source to prevent melting. Also, do not leave the nylon fork in the pan when the burner is on, and avoid placing the pan in the oven or under the broiler, as this will damage the non-stick coating and void the guarantee.
Finally, when storing, place paper, soft cloth towels, or cookware protectors between pans to reduce scratches on the interior coating.

How to remove waffles from the pan
To prevent your waffles from sticking to the pan, it is important to preheat the pan to the right temperature and grease it lightly with butter or oil. Using a silicone brush to grease the pan is a good option. However, if your waffles do get stuck, there are a few things you can try to remove them without damaging the pan.
Firstly, always use tools that are designed for non-stick cookware. Opt for plastic, rubber, or silicone spatulas as metal utensils can scratch and damage the pan's surface. Gently work the spatula under the waffle, starting with the edges, and saw away at any bits that refuse to separate. If your waffle is only partially stuck, a soft spatula may be able to detach it from the pan.
If your waffle is completely stuck, you can try softening the stuck bits with a little water. Let the water sit for a moment, then gently work the spatula under the waffle again. If your waffle maker has removable plates, cleaning the plates with warm, soapy water can help remove stuck-on batter. Just be sure to dry the plates thoroughly before using them again.
To prevent your waffles from sticking in the future, make sure your pan is properly preheated before adding the batter. You can test this by splashing a small amount of water on the pan; if it sizzles and skips, the pan is ready. Additionally, using a thicker batter and avoiding spray oils can help reduce sticking.
