Jamie Oliver’s waffles are classic, homemade waffles made with a batter of flour, eggs, milk, and a hint of vanilla. They’re cooked to perfection in a waffle iron, resulting in a versatile dish that can be topped with sweet or savory ingredients.
Ingredients
- Plain Flour (250g): The base of the batter.
- Baking Powder (2 tsp): Helps the waffles rise and stay fluffy.
- Salt (a pinch): Balances the flavors.
- Caster Sugar (2 tbsp): Adds a touch of sweetness.
- Eggs (2 large): For structure and richness.
- Milk (300ml): Creates a smooth batter.
- Butter (75g, melted): Adds flavor and crispness.
- Vanilla Extract (1 tsp): Optional, for a sweet aroma.
Optional Toppings
- Fresh fruit (berries, bananas, or apples)
- Maple syrup or honey
- Whipped cream
- Chocolate sauce
- Savory options like avocado
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the batter
In a large mixing bowl, combine the plain flour, baking powder, salt, and caster sugar. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, whisking until a smooth batter forms.
Step 2: Preheat the waffle iron
Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Lightly grease it with cooking spray or a small amount of melted butter.
Step 3: Cook the waffles
Pour a ladleful of batter into the center of the waffle iron, spreading it evenly. Close the lid and cook for 4-5 minutes, or until the waffles are golden brown and crisp.
Step 4: Serve
Carefully remove the waffles from the iron and serve immediately with your favorite toppings. Repeat with the remaining batter.
