Ingredients

• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 tbsp Custard powder
• 2 tbsp Tapioca starch
• 2 Eggs
• 0.5 cup Sugar
• 0.5 cup Evaporated milk
• 0.5 cup Water
• 1 tsp Baking powder
• 1 tsp Vanilla
• 2 tbsp Peanut oil

Steps

1. Whisk the dry ingredients, then whisk in the eggs, evaporated milk, water, vanilla, and oil into a smooth, pourable batter. Rest 15 minutes.
2. Heat the bubble waffle iron well and brush both sides with oil. A hot iron is what gives the crisp shell.
3. Pour in just enough batter to fill the bubbles without overflowing, close, and cook 3 minutes, flipping once halfway.
4. Open to reveal the honeycomb: crisp golden bubbles, soft and custardy inside.
5. Serve hot, plain or with a dusting of sugar. Tear off the bubbles one by one — that is the entire ritual.
