Simple Milk Free Waffles
Fluffy and perfect for a weekend breakfast
Equipment
- waffle iron, best to use cast iron
Ingredients
- 2 eggs, separated
- 3 cups spelt or wholewheat flour - I milled 2 cups of spelt grain
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon powder
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2/3 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp ghee
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- pinch clove powder - I milled one whole clove with the grain
- extra extra ghee, for greasing the waffle iron
Instructions
- Whisk egg whites with an electric whisk until white and fluffy and form soft peaks.
- Combine the egg yolks, ghee, salt, vanilla, spices and maple syrup.
- Stir in the flour, then add enough water to make thick but droopy batter.
- Carefully fold in the egg whites, making sure not to overmix. The batter should be of yogurt consistency. If it is too thick, add a little water to thin it down.
- Preheat your waffle iron well. Brush it with a little softened ghee. Cook the waffles on medium-high heat according to your instuctions. (I cooked each waffle for 7 mins but it may be less for you if your iron is hotter.)
- Enjoy these waffles with a small cup of herbal tea, as well as with my Hot Carob Fudge Sauce, a Crunchy Sunflower Seed Topping (see notes) and a teaspoon of crème fraíche.
