Tips for the best Breakfast Waffles
- Taste as you go. Seasoning at the end is fine, but adjusting halfway through gives a more balanced result.
- Let the egg come up to room temperature for 15 minutes before cooking so it cooks evenly.
- Rest the finished dish for a few minutes before serving — it lets the flavours settle and the texture firm up.
- Use a kitchen scale for the dry ingredients if you have one — baking is less forgiving than cooking.
Variations
- Spicier version: add a pinch of chilli flakes or a sliced fresh chilli with the aromatics.
- Vegetable boost: stir in a handful of spinach, peas or diced peppers in the last few minutes of cooking.
- Swap the egg for silken tofu — keep the cooking time similar and check for doneness.
