I have a bit of an obsession with having aaaaall the kitchen gadgets and small appliances, however one thing I had never owned until recently, was a waffle maker. In hearing this, my Mother-in-law thought it was time to rectify that and bought us one for Christmas last year (YAY!) Of course this meant I had to come up with my own waffle batter recipe. After an initial fairly successful try, I did a bit of tweaking and was soon getting frequent requests from my kids to make them. I’ve been wanting to blog the recipe for months but they always disappear too fast for me to get a photo, so today I decided to make them after breakfast and.. photo success! Lovely and light on the inside and just the right amount of sweetness, these should disappear fast in your house too. Enjoy!
350g milk (plant based milk for dairy free/vegan)
50g honey or sugar
40g light tasting oil
2 eggs (4 Tbspn apple sauce for egg free/vegan)
1 tsp vanilla extract
270g white spelt or plain flour
30g cornflour
1 Tbspn baking powder
1. Turn your waffle maker on to pre-heat.
2. Place milk, honey (or sugar), oil, eggs and vanilla in mixer bowl. Mix for 10 seconds/speed 4/MC on.
3. Add flour, cornflour and baking powder. Mix for 10 seconds/speed 4/MC on, turning speed dial up slowly so flour doesn’t fly up the sides of the bowl. Scrape down sides and mix a further 2 seconds/speed 4/MC on, if needed.
4. When waffle maker is heated, add batter in the amount indicated by your machine’s instruction manual and cook until golden brown.
Tips
This is the waffle maker I have and I really like it, it cooks nice and evenly and at a pretty good speed https://www.kitchenwarehouse.com.au/Cuisinart-4-Slice-Belgium-Waffle-Maker I get 12 waffles in it using this recipe.
I haven’t tried this recipe with GF flour but if you would like to, I highly recommend ORGRAN All Purpose Flour over other brands – let me know how you go!
I just made these with gf plain flour and substituted 50g for a delicious lemon cheesecake protein powder we have. I also left out the sugar. So good.
These are great, so simple. Cooked up perfectly.
I made these with gluten free S/R flour, omitted the baking powder and used almond milk.
Don’t have a waffle maker? Don’t worry! You can use a jaffle maker for perfectly fluffy pillows of waffle flavoured goodness! They have a lovely, crispy underside and a smooth top. If you find the top too pale, flip them over for a minute and they will be perfect. This recipe captures the true taste of beautiful waffles, without being overly heavy on the sugar. My kids ate these plain, there is absolutely no need for topping, though my husband assures me that a dash of maple syrup makes these the bomb.
These waffles are delicious ? Perfect for Sunday Brunch!
