Waffles

Ingredients:

250g Plain Flour*
7g Baking powder*
20g Caster sugar*
5g Salt*
475ml Milk
2 Eggs
30ml Vegetable oil

(Original recipe found in BBC Good Food)

*We used self-raising flour, so kids had to do some calculations.

In every 150g of self-raising flour, there is 7g baking soda. Meaning, it is slightly less that above recipe. We figured out that we needed to add 2.4g or ½ tsp to make flour – baking powder proportion same as above.

250g = 473.18 ml self-raising flour

Being used to cooking using volume measurement, we had to do another conversion: 100g = 105 ml caster sugar and 1tsp = 5.69g salt

Just lucky that Jake loves maths …

Method

2, Whisk egg and milk together

3, Combine all ingredients

We used a vintage Husqvarna waffle iron that I recently picked up at a flea market in Sweden, so had to cook one side first, before flipping it over to cook the other side.

It took a little bit of figuring out and practice but we were pretty pleased with the results in the end.
