Waffles

Ingredients

• 250g/9oz plain flour
• 2 tsp baking powder
• ½ tsp salt
• ½-1 tsp ground cardamom (optional)
• 2-3 tbsp sugar
• 6 free-range eggs
• 250ml/8½fl oz cream (whipping or double)
• 250ml/8½fl oz milk
• 200g/7oz butter, melted and cooled

Preparation method

1. In a bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, salt, cardamom and sugar. Add the eggs, cream, milk and butter and mix with a hand-mixer until it becomes a smooth, thick batter.
2. Let the batter rest for a minimum of 30 minutes, or overnight in the fridge.
3. Preheat the waffle iron on a medium heat.
4. Put a medium ladleful of the batter mixture in the waffle iron, making sure not to overfill. Cook each waffle until golden-brown and cool on a rack so that they don’t steam up and get soggy.
