Waffles

Ingredients 250g/9oz plain flour 2 tsp baking powder ½ tsp salt ½-1 tsp ground cardamom (optional) 2-3 tbsp sugar 6 free-range eggs 250ml/8½fl oz cream (whipping or double) 250ml/8½fl oz milk 200g/7oz butter, melted and cooled Preparation method In a bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, salt, cardamom and sugar. Add the eggs, cream, milk and butter and mix with a hand-mixer until it becomes a smooth, thick batter. Let the batter rest for a minimum of 30 minutes, or overnight in the fridge. Preheat the waffle iron on a medium heat. Put a medium ladleful of the batter mixture in the waffle iron, making sure not to overfill. Cook each waffle until golden-brown and cool on a rack so that they don’t steam up and get soggy.
