1 egg
200g self-raising flour
25g corn starch
1 tbsp golden caster sugar
225ml milk
50g butter, melted and cooled
1/2 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
1 tbsp sunflower or vegetable oil
maple syrup and icing sugar, to serve
Crack the egg into a large bowl, then tip in the flours and a generous pinch of salt. Add the sugar then gradually whisk in the milk followed by the melted butter until smooth. Whisk in the vanilla, if using.
Alternatively, make the batter by blitzing all the ingredients together using a blender or hand blender.
Can be made 1-2 hrs ahead and chilled.
Heat a waffle maker following the manufacturer’s instructions, brush with a little of the oil, then ladle in enough batter to just cover the surface. Cook following the manufacturer’s instructions (usually 5-6 mins) until the waffles are golden brown and crisp.
Serve immediately or keep warm in a low oven while you make the rest.
Drizzle with maple syrup or sprinkle with icing sugar, if you like.
