Ranks compare each pair with 20,000 random ingredient pairs on CompKitchen. How we score pairs

What each ingredient does

Egg whites
Whipped to stiff peaks, they add lightness and airy structure to the batter.
Rice flour
Forms the base structure of the waffle batter.
Baking powder
Releases gas in the batter, helping the waffles rise and turn light.
Arrowroot powder
Thickens the strawberry sauce into a glossy, spoonable consistency.
Strawberries
Provide fruit flavor and sweetness for the sauce.

The step that matters

Fold in the egg whites. Whipped whites hold air that makes the waffles light. Folding gently, rather than stirring, keeps that air in the batter so the waffles do not turn dense.

Swap the safflower

How well each one fits the dish's main ingredients (rice, flour, nutmeg, cinnamon, honey, egg, milk):

  1. Cardamomfits better
  2. Turmericfits better
  3. Clovefits better
  4. Safflowerthe original

Fit is the average pairing score against rice, flour, nutmeg, cinnamon, honey, egg, milk. Candidates are from the same food group and used in at least 100 recipes.
