Serves: 6 waffles
Ingredients
  • 2 cups (300g) plain flour
  • 1 fat pinch of salt
  • 1 tbsp caster sugar
  • ½ tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp vanilla bean paste
  • ¼ tsp nutmeg
  • 2 tsp dry active yeast
  • 1 stick, less 1 tbsp (100g) butter
  • 1 cup (250ml) milk
  • 2 eggs
  • ½ cup pearl sugar (optional)
Instructions
  1. Place the flour, salt, sugar, yeast, cinnamon, vanilla and nutmeg into a large bowl.
  2. Place the butter in a small pan over a low heat. When it's melted, remove from the heat, and pour in the milk, stirring well (this should bring it down to a just-warm temperature - if it's still too warm to stick your finger in, let it cool a while.
  3. Whisk the eggs into the milk and butter, then pour it all into the dry ingredients and stir together thoroughly with a wooden spoon. Cover the bowl with plastic, then set aside to rise for half an hour.
  4. When the time is up, the mixture should be all bubbly. Stir through the pearl sugar (if using) but only just - don't overmix that sucker.
  5. Bake the waffles in your waffle iron, according to the manufacturer's instructions - I baked mine on a medium-high setting.
  6. Serve with whatever you like - blueberries and ice cream is a solid choice.
