Waffle Recipes

I was suddenly gripped with the urge to make waffles for breakfast. Maybe because we were watching something American with people having waffles on Sunday morning.
I bought a cast iron waffle maker that can be used on the stove top, the BBQ or an open fire.

Both these recipes make a good number of waffles for 2 people.
Quick recipe
125g plain flour
1 tsp baking powder
Salt to taste (approx 1/2 tsp)
1 tbl sp sugar
225ml milk
1 tbl sp veg oil
1 egg

Mix everything together in a bowl.
Cook as per instructions for your waffle iron. Our you have to guess wildly whether it is hot enough and then fill the bottom part of the mould and slam it shut before anything overflows.

Slow recipe
You need to start preparing this the night before.
125g plain flour
1 tsp salt
3.5g brad yeat (half a sachet)
1tsp sugar
1/4 cup water
1 cup milk
50g butter
1 egg
1/8 tsp baking powder

The night before you want to make the waffles, mix together everything except the egg and baking powder. It will rise overnight so make sure the bowl is big enough.
Cover the bowl with clingfilm and leave overnight. It should foam and rise.
Just before you want to cook the waffles stir in the egg and baking powder.
Cook as per instructions for your waffle iron.
