Ingredients
Waffles
- 2 cups (300 g) plain (all-purpose) flour
- ½ tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp bicarbonate of soda (baking soda)
- 1 tsp sea salt flakes
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup (250 ml) milk
- 1 cup (250 g) plain yoghurt
- 80 g (23/4 oz) unsalted butter, melted (plus a little more for brushing on the waffle iron)
Toppings
- Strawberries, bananas or raspberries, sliced
- Maple syrup
- Chocolate, melted (see note 1)
Instructions
- Whisk together the flour, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda and salt in a large bowl.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, yoghurt and melted butter (adding the butter last). The mixture may be a little lumpy from the butter, which is fine.
- Fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients to combine.
- Preheat your waffle iron. Brush the butter onto the iron using a pastry brush or paper towel. Cook the waffles until golden and crisp. You will need about 1/2 cup of batter per waffle. Depending on your waffle iron, these will take 2–4 minutes to cook.
- Butter the waffle iron in between batches. Serve the waffles immediately or keep them warm in a 100°C (200°F) oven (all types) until you are ready.
Notes
Note 1 – This is the perfect recipe for leftover Easter chocolate. Melt the chocolate in 20-second bursts in the microwave, stirring until you reach your desired consistency.
Note 2 – As the toppings for waffles are generally sweet, this recipe does not include sugar. Add 1 tablespoon of sugar to the dry ingredients to sweeten your waffle mixture, if desired.
MAKE AHEAD
Freeze the cooked waffles in a container or reusable sandwich bag, separating them with baking (parchment) paper if needed, for up to 2 months. Thaw completely on the counter for 30 minutes. Reheat by popping into the toaster.
