Method

  1. Put all the ingredients in a bowl with 50ml water and a pinch of salt. Whisk well to make a lumpy batter, then set aside for 5-10 minutes to thicken.
  2. Turn on your waffle maker and wait for it to reach temperature. Pour the waffle batter into the waffle maker (depending on your particular model, you may not need all the batter).
  3. Close the lid and wait for the waffle to cook; you’ll know it’s ready when there’s no more steam coming from the machine and the waffle is golden and crisp. In my waffle maker this takes about 10-15 minutes, but different models will vary.
  4. Serve the waffle warm as is, or with a little melted butter or extra cheese on top.

  1. Elaine’s Tip “You can use sourdough starter that’s at any stage in this recipe (including discard), as it’s only adding flavour rather than acting as a raising agent.”

    Easy swaps You can use any flour you like in this recipe – try spelt, wholemeal or an ancient grain.
