Ingredients
Waffles
300gplain (all-purpose) flour
½tspbaking powder
¼tspbicarbonate of soda (baking soda)
1tspsea salt flakes
4large eggs
250mlmilk
250gplain yoghurt
80gunsalted butter, melted (plus a little more for brushing on the waffle iron)
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 ½ 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.
