I must thank my brother as he gave me a Briscoes gift voucher for my birthday so two days ago I walked in as the Easter sale was starting and got myself a bargin on the Breville Waffle Creations waffle maker!  Thanks bro. Here is the recipe for the tasty sweet waffles my husband and I enjoyed this morning.

 

SWEET WAFFLES

Makes 5

 

250g  GF baking  flour

2 tsp guar gum

3 T caster sugar

300ml milk

2 eggs

60g semisoft butter, melted for 30 seconds in microwave

 

Sift flour and guar gum together into a large bowl.  Stir in the sugar, then make a well in the centre.  In a separate bowl whisk the milk and eggs together well.  Pour the milk and egg mix into the dry ingredients and whisk until smooth.  Whisk in the melted butter and rest for 10-15 minutes.

Preheat the waffle maker.  I use the Breville Waffle Creations, set to the second highest darkness. Pour some of the mixture into a measuring cup, then pour half a cup of waffle batter into the waffle maker, using a spatula to spread mixture evenly. Cook the transfer to a wire rack or straight to the plate.  Repeat with remaining batter, reheating waffle maker between waffles.

 

Variations: Add to batter before cooking

·      1 medium apple, finely grated and ½ tsp cinnamon

·      1 medium banana, finely sliced and ½ tsp Chinese five spice

 

Toppings: With or without GF vanilla icecream, cream or plain yoghurt:
