Classic waffles
– makes 12
• 280g plain flour
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 50g caster sugar
• 1 tsp salt
• 425ml milk
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 3 large eggs
• 125g butter, melted
1. Mix the flour, baking powder, sugar and salt in a bowl.
2. Whisk the milk, vanilla extract and eggs in a separate bowl.
3. Make a well in the dry ingredients and add the milk mixture along with the butter.
Whisk together until barely combined, the batter will still be slightly lumpy. Don’t
over-mix. For best results, leave the batter to rest for a few minutes.
4. Pre-heat your waffle maker until the ready-to-cook light comes on.
5. Grease both the waffle plates with a little oil-based cooking spray, then pour about
75ml of the batter mix evenly into the centre of each grid of the waffle plate.
6. Lower the lid but don’t clip the latch shut. Cook for about 7 minutes until golden brown.
Delicious topped with Greek yoghurt, fresh berries and a drizzle of honey.
