I seem to have every single kitchen gadget in the known universe. Slow cooker? Check. Deep fat fryer? Check - never used by the way. George Foreman Grill? Check. Used twice. Don't even get me started on the pasta maker. I will use that, one day.
My kitchen is absolutely tiny and counter space is at an absolute premium so most of these gadgets are hidden away, out of sight, out of mind. The tiny waffle iron was a Valentine's Day present (from me to my husband I believe - a little self-serving perhaps). It hasn't had much, if any, use in years because I never found a waffle recipe I was happy with. Until now.
I made these to use up some of my sourdough starter which was looking mightily miffed at me. I didn't expect them to be good but they were fantastic - crisp on the outside, fluffy on the inside and a HUGE, huge, hit with my two children.
NOTE: You can make pancakes using this batter if you don't have a waffle iron. I have used buttermilk and sour cream instead of yoghurt in the batter and both worked well. Leftovers can be frozen.
