Egg waffle, also known as bubble waffle, is one of the most popular street foods in Hong Kong. The batter is sweet, resembling a pancake batter. When cooked in the special egg waffle iron, it is crispy outside and the egg puffs themselves are light and fluffy.

Notes
When using a new egg waffle mould, thoroughly wash and clean the mould then use it to make an egg waffle two to three times until the egg waffles can be removed from the mould easily. Discard all initial egg waffles batches.
It is important to let the egg waffle cool down for a while before serving for it to become crispy.
