Basic Waffles

Waffles - when I think of them I think of Belgium.  Spent a couple of days in Brussels during the Beer Festival, some years ago.  More than the Beer what excited me were the waffles.  Topped with strawberries, bananas, cream and then chocolate syrup.  Impossible to eat a full waffle and heartbreaking to have to share it.



This is the recipe for a regular waffle.  
Top it with the above and you are set.  
Top it with Bacon and maple syrup for a slice of heaven.
Top it with just powdered sugar
Top it with butter
Top it with anything - its an experience of its own

Ingredients
  • 2 cups flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 2 tsp castor sugar
  • 2 cups milk
  • 2 eggs, separated
  • 1 tbsp melted butter + additional butter for the iron
  • 1 tsp vanilla essence
  • Toppings of your choice

Method
  • Separate the eggs and beat the egg whites to stiff peaks
  • Sift the flour, baking powder and sugar in a bowl
  • Mix the egg yolks with the milk, butter and vanilla essence.
  • Mix the wet ingredients into the dry, taking care not to overmix.  Lumps are fine.
  • Fold in the beaten egg whites into the mix.
  • Bake in a preheated iron till golden brown.
  • Serve topped with toppings of your choice.
