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.

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.

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.

I've just bought another pot of yoghurt ready to do these again at the weekend. They were so easy

[chickencam]

Made these again today, I think they may replace pancakes for us on Shrove Tuesday too.

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.

The only difficulty may be turning them, but I suspect that the mixture would cook in a similar way to a scotch pancake.

[emchook]

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 !

[Lesley]

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

[chickencam]

And all those eggs very nutritious

[Lesley]

.....and a snadwich toaster/grill/waffle maker just fell into a virtual shopping basket on Sunday afternoon

 

It arrived this morning and I'm going to have to make waffles again

 

Luckily, my son is working here today and will eat most of them for me........

[chickencam]

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

[Lesley]

Well, someone has to do it!

 

The machine has been well and truly tested now

[chickencam]

Glad it went well, rigorous testing is very important

[Lesley]

Carl tested it for a toastie as well

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

[chickencam]

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

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!

[Lesley]

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.

[Jules]

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!

[chickencam]

I should have made sure that I had a commision deal in place with a waffle maker company before posting this

[chickencam]

Aparently Lidl have their waffle maker in this week £9.99 it is the one that we have

[Guest]

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

[chickencam]

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.

okay, wish me luck, ta!
