Classic Waffle

Are you sweet or savoury lover?

Well there are endless waffle combinations to treat yourself to each.

I normally grab waffles from boxes but today it coming straight from waffle maker, truly exciting & enticing.

To begin with I am sticking to the classic plain waffle recipe topped with berries and dollop of vanilla & chocolate ice-creams.

You can swap icecream with whipped cream or any flavoured yoghurts.

Collect & prepare all the ingredients.
In a bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar.
Add the eggs, vanilla essence (optional) and milk.
Mix until you have a smooth, thick batter. Let the batter rest for a minimum of 30 minutes.
The batter can be left overnight in the fridge.
Preheat the waffle iron on a medium heat; add a ladleful of batter to the waffle iron. For a standard waffle iron, pour a generous 1/2 cup of batter into center, spreading to within 1/2 inch of edges, and close.
Cook until golden brown.Approx 8-10 minutes on my waffle iron.
Transfer to a wire rack to cool, so the waffles do not go soggy.

Coconut flavoured yoghurt, mango slices and coconut shavings.

Pulled pork, chicken and bacon can also be used as toppings for a wholesome meal.

Use your equipment setting or manufacturer instructions for warming and cooking.

If you want to serve the waffles hot, simply put back in the waffle iron for 30 seconds and serve.

I prefer to toast my waffle with some butter for added crust on lazy days. Alternatively a some amount of butter can be added to batter for indulgence.
