  • Total Time: 30 mins
  • Yield: 4 1x

Ingredients

Scale

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

  1. Whisk together the flour, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda and salt in a large bowl.
  2. 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.
  3. Fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients to combine.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
