chickencam Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 I had an email from Lakeland the other day which gave a link to their recipe page and I found the following recipe for waffles. OH bought a waffle maker from Lidl several years ago and we have only used it once because we hadn't found a good recipe. It was rescued from the garage and the results were yummy. 200g plain flour 3 tablespoons caster sugar 1tsp vanilla sugar 1/2 tsp sodium bicarb 3 eggs 500g tub of natural yogurt we used Yeo Valley Mix all of the ingredients together then leave for 10-15 minutes. Heat a waffle iron and brush with oil or melted butter before each waffle then cook. Don't do what I did with my first one though and overfill the iron, it overflowed everywhere in a volcanic way and the family laughed at me I found that I needed a small ladle full per waffle mine is a round iron with heart shaped divisions and makes waffles that are just bigger than tea plate size. It made 10 waffles for me. We had them with syrup and lemon juice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saronne Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 Home made waffles are so yummy. I've got one of those waffle makers, too, and make them a couple of times a month - usually on a Sunday. Your recipe sounds lovely. Saronne x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Becka Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 Thanks for the recipe. I made these this morning and they're great. I didn't have enough natural yogurt so I used 300g of yogurt and 100g of milk which worked out brilliantly - even if say so myself! I made them for my children's breakfast and I'm going to freeze some to see if they're as good popped in the toaster from the freezer. That could solve my son's breakfast dilema.

chickencam Posted January 20, 2010 Author Share Posted January 20, 2010 I've just bought another pot of yoghurt ready to do these again at the weekend. They were so easy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted January 24, 2010 Author Share Posted January 24, 2010 Made these again today, I think they may replace pancakes for us on Shrove Tuesday too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chook n Boo Mum Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 Presumably it would be as good as "flat" waffles ie pancakes...............! I don't have a waffle maker & don't have space for yet another gadget. Sha x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted January 26, 2010 Author Share Posted January 26, 2010 The only difficulty may be turning them, but I suspect that the mixture would cook in a similar way to a scotch pancake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emchook Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 I made these for lunch and they were really quick and easy to make . [ A lot less fuss than pancakes] I found that the first lot stuck to the waffle iron so I put some veg oil on a kitchen towel and wiped it over the iron . I also added quite a bit of vanilla extract ! Yummy with syrup ! The kids thank you ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 I made them for Sunday breakfast as grandchildren were staying over - no waffle iron so I made them like Scotch pancakes, they were divine! They were similar to American pancakes. I made about 30 - we had them with Golden Syrup sauce as have run out of Maple Syrup. Lots of yoghurt.....they must be healthy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chickencam Posted February 4, 2010 Author Share Posted February 4, 2010 It's terrible how these things fall into shopping baskets and arrive at your door isn't it It'll be a dirty job but I'm sure that you and your son will manage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alis girls Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 Thanks CC - big hit - made with Oaty cream substitute instead of Yoghurt for ES who is on soya and dairy free trial for 4 weeks. Big hit - they did stick to the rings (forgot to oil them ) and were dropped scones as opposed to waffles. kids and OH loved them. Also used friends free range eggs from her girls. She bought a dozen up to school to sell as her chucks have gone mad. I purchased 1/2 doz as I do regularly and came out to find shes still holding the others, got those as well, whats wrong with people. They are delish. This is one recipe I will pass to sons dieitican for other mums. Thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted February 8, 2010 Author Share Posted February 8, 2010 Doing these as an after school snack today, because we are of to parents evening within 45 minutes of them getting home. I love the fact that they use 3 eggs, because my young chooks are in full lay mode at the moment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henny penny Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 So Lesley which wafflemaker/ sandwich maker did you go for? and is it any good? there seem to be a number on the market with varying recommendations - good and bad! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 I bought a relatively cheap one because the one I want is out of stock everywhere..... I bought a Swan - about £20 and it has grill plates, toasted sandwich plates and the waffle plates. They are really easy to change and to wash. It only has one temperature setting and only takes two sandwiches/makes two waffles but it is really good for the price. I'm after one which makes 4 waffles at a time and has different heat settings - then I'll pass this one on to my son. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jules Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 After reading this recipe I just had to go and buy a waffle maker and they the waffles are great! I have froze them and my DD has them for breakfast after poping them in the toaster - Thank you for a great recipe. My mum was with me when we made them and she has ordered herself a waffle maker too and copied the recipe down! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 my waffle machine is a prima pwm100s this one http://images.electricshopping.com/assets/images/products/Main_Images/pwm100s.jpg I've never used it before but want to try your recipe how much mixture should I put in it? I don't really know how much a "small ladle" is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted February 16, 2010 Author Share Posted February 16, 2010 Perhaps the nearest would be an average sized teacup, or maybe a spoonful using the sort of solid serving spoons to get sets with slotted spoons and fish slices. you will soon get the amount right when if like me you put too much in and it all explodes out of the sides Enjoy We are doing double mixture this evening instead of pancakes.
