Sunday Waffles

Well I don’t own a waffle iron, and after I tried this …. I don’t think I need one J I know waffles aren’t healthy….they make for a junk load for breakfast….but I can let go on a Sunday may be J

So here’s my recipe to make fab waffles at home J

Need for 6 waffles

All purpose flour – 1 cup

White sugar – 2 tbsp

Butter melted – 2 tbsp

Salt – a pinch

Eggs – 2 medium

Milk – as required (will explain later)

Baking powder – 1 tsp

Crushed black pepper (optional)

Vanilla extract – 1tsp

A thick bottomed non-stick tawa or frying pan – cast iron stuff would be great J

To make awesome waffles:

1.    Mix all the dry ingredients well.

2.    Now in a large bowl, melt the butter and mix in the beaten eggs, add vanilla and the dry ingredients. Incorporate well. You’ll get a semi-pasty consistency at this stage.

3.    Add just enough milk to make the batter runny (not very though). The batter should be runny enough so that when you pour a spoonful on the tawa, you can easily swirl it around by tilting the tawa.

4.    Now allow the batter to sit for 10 minutes.

5.    Heat the tawa, coat with a thin layer of butter and cook your waffles to perfection. Here’s how I do it: Pour a spoonful when the tawa is hot. Swivel the tawa to spread the waffle thin…..choose your shape J Now when you see little pores opening up on top of the waffle, flip it with a flat spatula. Adjust heat so that the tawa doesn’t get too hot.
