What are Hong Kong Egg Waffles?

Hong Kong Egg Waffles go by many names: Bubble Waffle, Puffle, Egglet, Egg Waffle, Pancake Waffle, Eggpuff, and in Cantonese gai daan jai (鷄蛋仔).  They use a rich waffle-like batter but what makes them so unique is the waffle maker.  It has many “cells” that create a puff or bubble out of the waffle. A popular choice is to serve the waffle folded around ice cream! 😋

History of Hong Kong Egg Waffles

A few rumors are circulating about how Hong Kong Egg Waffles got started.  The most popular one is that in the 1950s, a store owner received delivery of eggs. When they opened the boxes, they saw that a lot of the eggs had broken, and instead of throwing them out, they mixed with eggs with flour and sugar and poured them into a cast iron mold. After heating the iron mold on a fire, Hong Kong Egg Waffles was born!

How to Make Hong Kong Egg Waffles

One of the secrets to making Hong Kong Egg Waffles is ensuring you don’t fill up your mold with batter.  When the waffles are cooking, they will expand, so you want to leave room for them to expand and create their iconic “bubble” or “puff.”  To make the batter for Hong Kong egg waffles, you need eggs, flour, and sugar, or you can try a traditional waffle or pancake mix.  Many waffle makers will come with their recipe guide.
