Waffles – Revisited

• The last time I went to Gdansk, I had savoury waffles in the Gvara Restaurant.
• On coming home I made them here and posted about them in June 2019 under the title Waffles.

• Once more in the Gvara Restaurant in October 2024, waffles were on the menu for breakfast.
• This time you got 3 toppings – called 3 ways – in one order:
• Bacon and Eggs
• Spinach and Eggs
• Curd cheese and smoked salmon
• Note – the salmon was whole cooked salmon smoked – thick chunks.
• If you did not like the curd cheese and smoked salmon – they would do another topping.
• A really filling breakfast.

Baking Powder Waffles

This recipe is based on the one in the recipe book that comes with my Salter waffle maker.

I used whole milk and found this worked very well.

Ingredients

• 250g plain flour
• 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar
• 4 teaspoons of baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon of salt
• 2 egg
• 90g of butter
• 350ml of whole milk

Method

This amount made eight waffles in my maker.

It is best to make all the waffles at once and either keep them warm in a low oven or you can pop then in a toaster later.

• Mix the flour, salt, sugar and baking powder together in a bowl.
• Melt the butter.
• Beat the eggs until they are fluffy.
• Add the eggs and then the milk to the flour mixture and mix well.
• Add the melted butter to the mixture and mix well.
• I made the waffles as per the instructions of the waffle maker.
• Pre-heat the maker for around 5 minutes.
• Brush some oil or butter onto the plates for the first batch.
• Use a ladle to pour on the mixture – filling the plate till around 3/4 full.
• Cook for around 5 minutes – all steam should have finished being given off by now.
