This recipe involves "prior planning". The results are a crispy, crunchy waffle that is delicious!
Soak overnight or at least two hours:
1 cup long grain brown rice
1 1/2 cups water
In the morning, plug in waffle iron. Now put the soaked rice and water in the blender and blend with:
1/2 cup nuts or sesame seeds
Blend until very creamy, three minutes or more.
Now add and blend again:
1/2 cup cooked brown rice
1 1/4 cup more water
1/2 tsp. (plus) salt
When waffle iron is very hot, reblend batter and pour gently and systematically into lightly greased (or PAM sprayed) iron. Fill grids to cover well --- using about 1 cup batter. Leave open 15 - 30 seconds. Gently lower the cover. Bake about 10 minutes or until they begin to brown. DO NOT open the waffle iron to check waffles before time is up.
Serve hot or freeze and toast before serving.
This recipe makes 8 waffles in a 2 piece waffle iron.
1 piece provides about 160 calories and 4 gm protein (using sesame seeds).
*Filberts require 1/4 cup more water.
*The first greasing of the iron should be sufficient..
