Waffles


Another excellent recipe from the trusty old Good Housekeeping's Cookery Compendium circa 1956, with a couple of modifications:



Before you start turn the waffle maker on to heat up

6 oz self raising flour 
(or plain flour + 1 1/2 tsp baking powder)
2 eggs
1/2 pint of soya milk 
or cow's milk (10 fluid oz/285 ml) 

The recipe also calls for 1tbsp of castor sugar, 2 oz of melted butter and vanilla essence, but I prefer not to add them and they still come out great.

Whisk the egg whites in  a grease free bowl until they form stiff white peaks with an electric mixer

In a large measuring jug mix the flour, egg yolks and milk by hand.

Gently fold the egg whites into the mixture of flour etc.

Grease the waffle maker then  pour the mixture into it.

Toppings:

Mixed Berry Coulis

Defrost a bowl full (as much or as little as you like) in the microwave
Liquidise the fruit and then sieve it to remove the seeds etc.. add a bit of honey or sugar to taste

Sliced peaches

Chocolate spread or Nuttella!

Blueberries

Ground Almonds
