Ingredients
Dry ingredients
1 cup (125grams)all purpose or spelt flour
1tablespoonground flaxseeds
2teaspoonsbaking powder
¼teaspoonbaking soda, bicarbonate of soda in the UK
Grease and preheat your waffle iron to medium heat.
To a mixing bowl add the flour, ground flax, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger, and sugar. Whisk together to combine.
To another bowl add the milk, vinegar, molasses, and oil. Whisk the, together until the molasses is really well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix using a spoon, until just combined. Do not over mix. A few small lumps are fine.
As soon as the waffle iron has reached temperature pour in your batter and close the top. The amount of batter you need will vary depending on your model. Now the trick for perfect waffles is to ignore your waffle machine when it tells you they are ready. Keep them cooking until there is absolutely no steam escaping out the sides of the machine. As soon as you can no longer see any steam they will be ready.
Open very carefully, remove the waffles, grease again, then close the waffle maker top, and let it heat up again before cooking the remaining batter in the same way.
NOTES
These waffles are best served immediately but they also keep well in the fridge for a few days or in the freezer for a few weeks. Just warm them through in a toaster straight from the fridge or freezer before serving.
