Waffles recipes
What better way to start the day than with a waffle? If you've committed to buying your own waffle maker, you'll be trying to invent reasons to use it more often than just breakfast. Our waffle recipes are fairly quick to make, and you can freestyle with the toppings, from bacon or fried chicken to strawberries and cream.
I was watching an American TV show recently and missed a lot of the plot, as I was distracted by the amount of waffle-eating going on. I tried to prevent myself getting a waffle iron; I’d made that mistake once before. Reader, I didn’t succeed. But I vowed that this time I wouldn’t use it once then consign it to a cupboard under the stairs, and I’ve been as good as my word and have turned into something of a weekend waffler.

Storage
Waffles are best frozen in an airtight container. Do not refreeze frozen waffles that have been defrosted. Frozen waffles are easy to use as they can be placed in the toaster and simply reheated.
Preparation
When making homemade waffles, it’s important not to over-enrich the batter with too much fat, sugar or egg as the waffles can colour too quickly and turn soft soon after cooking. Use plain flour rather than bread flour to help produce a light and crisp result, but you can also mix in up to a third or wholemeal, buckwheat or other flours for interesting taste and texture.
