Berry-tastic waffles!

Do you ever get that sudden sugar urge in the morning? So much that you feel like only a good whole hearty stack or waffles would do the trick? But yet again, you don't have the patience to let the waffle dough rise like them belgian waffles do. Well, this recipe adapted from Jamie Oliver's griddled pan waffles will satisfy your cravings without taking that valuable time of yours.  

I've decided to add some blueberries to give it a dose of fruitiness and natural sweetness. It came out gorgeous, and lovely, and just....munch munch munch. You can divide the recipe into half if you're only making a test batch or just for yourself.




BERRY-TASTIC WAFFLES
  • 2 eggs
  • 300 ml milk
  • 225 g self-raising flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 100 g unsalted butter, melted
  • A handful of frozen blueberries 
METHOD

  1. Preheat your waffle iron.
  2. Crack the eggs into a bowl, add the milk and whisk to combine. 
  3. Sift in the flour, baking powder and salt then whisk until fully combined. 
  4. Add the cooled melted butter and gradually stir it through the mixture. It's important not to stir the mixture any more after this or your waffles may be tough.
  5. Pour the batter onto the waffle iron and drop a couple of blueberries in. Cover the iron, and wait for the waffles to turn golden brown, about 3 - 5 minutes (depending on your waffle iron's manufacturer's instructions)

Voila! Gorgeous blueberry waffles that you'll chomp down before the next waffle is ready to come out!
