Method
- Combine the flours, sugar and bicarbonate of soda with a pinch of salt in a bowl. Mix the yogurt, milk, egg yolks, butter and vanilla in a large jug.
- Heat the waffle iron and lightly brush it with oil. In a new bowl beat the egg whites with an electric whisk until they hold soft peaks. Pour the jug of wet ingredients into the flour mixture and combine. Gently fold in the egg whites using a large metal spoon.
- Spread a small ladle of batter on the iron and cook for about 3-5 mins, until set and golden. Keep warm and repeat with the remaining batter. To serve, try the suggestions below.
- Tip: No waffle iron? No worries! Heat a griddle pan over a high heat until hot. Turn down the heat to medium, add a ladle of batter and cook for 4-5 mins on each side, until golden and cooked through. For a larger waffle, use more batter – but it’s trickier to flip!
- Note: Reference intake relates to plain waffles, without toppings.
