Batter and cook(12 min)

Whisk all ingredients into a smooth batter. Rest 10 min. Pour into a well-greased waffle iron (a regular waffle maker works — the bubble shape is traditional but the taste is what matters). Cook until golden and crisp, 3-4 min.

Pro Tips for Western Kitchens

A regular Belgian waffle maker makes excellent gai dan zai. The taste is identical — only the shape differs.
