Because, why not? Basically, I wondered if a seitan mix would work in a waffle maker, and I decided a savoury flavour would be interesting.
- 70g Vital wheat gluten
- 70g Gram flour
- 10g Nutritional yeast
- 20g Curry powder
- 7g EasyBake yeast
- 300ml Water
It needs something to make bubbles in the batter, and I decided to use yeast instead of baking powder. I don’t remember why I decided not to use eggs, but the absence of salt is explained by high blood pressure… It’s all just mixed together, and left to ferment for half an hour.
The amounts in the list above give just under three waffles. I expect adding a couple of beaten eggs would have made just the right amount of batter. The result is chewy, like seitan, but more airy, and the flavour depends on your curry powder. I used the mild curry powder recipe from Pat Chapman’s “250 Curry Recipes and Accompaniments”.
