Waffle Hotdog

1  Turn the waffle maker on to preheat.

2  Mix together the flour, baking powder and salt.

3 In a separate bowl, mix all the liquid ingredients together with the sugar until dissolved.

4 Mix the dry and liquid ingredients together.

5 Brush some oil in the waffle maker for easy release.

6 Transfer the waffle mix in a plastic ketchup squeeze bottle for easy dispensing(optional).

7 Fill the slots halfway through,  add your favorite filling in the center and cover with more waffle mix.

8 Let it cook until golden brown, or for 3-5 minutes.

9 Release from the waffle maker and serve hot.

Note : If using halayang ube filling,  it should not be thicker (in texture) than the waffle mix, otherwise it will sink in the bottom and be visible on the other end.  If it is quite thick, try to dilute in little water before spreading so it will stay in the center.
