Questions

Why does Pecan Waffles say not to overmix?

Step 4 reads: "Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined." Stirring develops gluten, and gluten makes quick batters tough and tunneled. Stop at step 4 while a few streaks of flour remain; they hydrate on their own.

What can I use instead of buttermilk in Pecan Waffles?

The entry for Pecan Waffles calls for 1.5 cups buttermilk. In its place: Stir a tablespoon of lemon juice or white vinegar into a cup of milk and let it stand five minutes. Plain yogurt thinned with milk also works.

Can I make Pecan Waffles dairy-free?

Yes. The dairy in Pecan Waffles is 1.5 cups buttermilk, 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted. Swap the buttermilk for plant milk soured with a teaspoon of vinegar per cup; the butter for olive oil where it melts, or a plant-based block butter where it is creamed. The richness shifts slightly, but the method does not change.

Is Pecan Waffles vegan?

No, though it is vegetarian. What keeps it from vegan is 1.5 cups buttermilk, 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted and 2 large eggs, beaten. For fully plant-based entries, see the vegan breakfast collection.

Does Pecan Waffles contain tree nuts?

Yes: 1 cup pecans, chopped. The full allergen list for this entry is gluten, dairy, eggs and tree nuts. Where the nuts are a garnish or a texture, toasted sunflower or pumpkin seeds stand in. Packaged ingredients vary by brand, so check labels if the allergy is serious.

How many calories are in Pecan Waffles?

One serving (the recipe makes 4) is about 420 calories, with 9 g protein, 48 g carbohydrate and 22 g fat, plus 3 g fiber and 480 mg sodium. The figures are estimates computed from the ingredient list.
