Homemade Hong Kong Egglets / Egg Waffle (雞蛋仔) Recipe

Hong Kong egglets (egg waffle) 雞蛋仔 is one of my favourite childhood snacks.

When I visited Hong Kong 2 years ago, I bought a 雞蛋仔 pan (HKD140) to make the delicious snack at home, so that Pei Pei and Hao Hao can share the joy of my childhood.

I was so excited to make egglets at home! However, after I tried once, the metal pan was sent to the "cold storage". The reason? As I was not skillful and was not well-prepared, when I flipped the pan, the batter flew all over the place, and I took long long time to clean up the stove.

Recently, I heard about an electric egg waffle maker and bought it at S$39 without much hesitation. Oh, I was so thrilled to make egglets without creating a big mess!

The children helped in preparing the batter, and I would be the chef operator using the maker, as it is too dangerous for the children to handle the hot equipment.

The children enjoyed eating so much that I only managed to "steal" a few to taste.
