Crispy fluffy black sesame waffles: subtly nutty and perfect served with maple syrup, toasted nuts, and matcha ice cream.
To make black sesame paste, pulse roasted black sesame in a coffee grinder or food processor until fine (if using raw sesame seeds, toast on stove in a skillet first). Combine the ground sesame with maple syrup and sesame oil until it forms a thin paste.
Combine black sesame paste and the other wet ingredients stirring until smooth.
Next, whisk together dry ingredients in a large bowl. Gradually add the wet ingredients into the dry and stir until just combined— it should be a smooth, shiny batter, with no lumps.
Preheat and grease a waffle iron and pour the batter in, making sure each waffle is fully cooked before opening the waffle maker.
