can I make a dry ingredient waffle mix with dry egg powder & powdered milk?
I want to make a dry waffle mix that you can store and later just add water to make ready. is it possible to do it with all dry ingredients?
Best Answer
You can certainly make a home made dry mix for waffles, but it is difficult to make one that will require only water to use.
Obviously, some of the ingredients are naturally a dry powder to start with:
- Flour
- Sugar (if you use any)
- Chemical leaveners like baking powder or baking soda
- Salt
De-hyrdated versions of dairy products are readily available, including powdered milk, and powdered buttermilk, depending on your preference. These can be had from most normal grocery stores, at least in the US.
Powdered eggs are available, intended for emergency storage, or for camping. Much to my surprise, you can even find powdered butter on the market, also intended for emergencies. I cannot vouch for the quality of this product.
With these ingredients you could make a dry mixture which is essentially everything in a waffle batter, dehydrated--to just add water.
I suspect if you are willing to relax the "add only water" restriction that you will get a higher quality waffle. Most home made pancake or waffle mixes expect you to add butter and water, or butter, eggs and water.
You can find specific recipes by googling, although pancake mix recipes seem much easier to find.

While water does nothing to improve your waffles' flavor, using equal parts water for the milk your waffle recipe calls for can result in slightly crispier waffle edges and a lighter crumb texture.Why do you have to add egg to waffle mix?
Waffle batter uses more egg (plus we beat the whites separately and fold them in) for the most fluffy waffles ever! The extra egg in a waffle batter makes a crispy exterior surrounding a moist fluffy inside with lots of air pockets.Homemade Waffles Recipe
