Spelt waffles

♥ I favor organic pure produce

♥ Waffles are a wonderful way to give your children healthy whole grains. Everybody loves warm bread and that is what a waffle is essentially! And what I love is that it takes only around 5 minutes to make waffle dough and then you can start baking, although you do need a waffle iron. My 11 year old son (and my husband for that matter:) can make a waffle dough in no time!


Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: 2 mins per waffle
Yields: 9-10

Ingredients

  • 300g organic wholewheat spelt flour
  • 100g organic fine spelt flour
  • 1⁄2 tsp sea salt
  • 2-3 tsp ground cardamom powder (OR 1 tsp vanilla powder OR 1-2 tsp vanilla essence OR 1–2 tsp almond essence OR the juice of 1 lemon)
  • 2 organic eggs (optional, but without them you’ll need to increase the butter or oil to 100g)
  • 400 ml milk you prefer or organic pure yoghurt
  • 300-400 ml water (or more milk/yoghurt - your choice)
  • 40g organic cold-pressed olive oil or melted organic butter (around 5 tbsp). My mum uses 100g melted butter always and skips the eggs, that is very lovely as well:)

Method

  1. Simply mix the dry ingredients and then work in the remaining ingredients, finishing with the oil or butter, to make a dough like a thin porridge.
  2. Heat your waffle iron until the light goes out.
  3. Add a little of the dough – you’ll work out exactly how much after a couple of waffles.
  4. Close the waffle iron and the light will come on, then go off when the waffle is cooked.
