Waffles Recipe
Waffles with maple syrup are a classic breakfast that never goes out of style. Golden and crisp on the outside, light and fluffy on the inside, they are perfectly complemented by the rich, buttery sweetness of maple syrup as it melts into every pocket. Simple to make and always impressive, these waffles are ideal for a relaxed weekend breakfast or a special brunch.
Makes 8 to 9 waffles.
Ingredients
- 50g unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 1 egg, separated
- 225g self raising flour
- Pinch of salt
-
1 tablespoon Pure Maple Syrup, Dark Robust, plus extra for serving
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 250ml milk
- 1 teaspoon vegetable oil, for greasing
- Pure maple syrup and fresh blueberries, or toppings of your choice, to serve
Instructions
- Grease and preheat the waffle maker.
- In a bowl, whisk the egg yolk with the milk, maple syrup, and vanilla. Add the flour and salt and whisk lightly until just combined, then stir in the cooled melted butter.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the egg white until light and frothy, then gently fold it into the batter. The batter can be made a day ahead and kept covered in the fridge overnight.
- Pour a ladle of batter into the waffle maker and cook for 5 to 6 minutes, depending on your machine.
- Serve immediately or cool on a wire rack. Any leftover waffles can be frozen and used within 3 months.
