We all have those kitchen gagets we buy, use once, and then they sit neglected in a cupboard or a shelf for ages. That’s my waffle iron – I’ve only used it a handful of times since I bought it so I decided to dust it off and put it to good use. I love donuts and I love waffles so why not put them together? Added bonus is the espresso maple glaze!
donut waffles
adapted from handle the heat
makes 10
1/3 cup sugar
2 tsp baking powder
3/4 tsp fine salt
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
1 tsp cinnamon
1 egg + 1 egg yolk
2 tbsp butter, melted
1/2 cup milk
1 1/2 cup flour
Place sugar, baking powder, salt, nutmeg and cinnamon in a mixing bowl, whisk to combine.
Add the egg, egg yolk, melted butter, and milk. Whisk to combine.
Sift in flour and stir to combine – the mixture will be very thick.
Preheat the waffle iron. Place two tablespoons of the waffle batter into the waffle iron and cook until golden. Remove and place on cooling racks.
espresso maple glaze
1/2 tbsp coffee
1/2 hot water
4 tbsp maple syrup
1/2 cup icing sugar, sifted
While the waffles are cooling, mix the coffee powder and hot water together and allow to cool for a few minutes.
Stir in the maple syrup and icing sugar. Either dip the waffles into the glaze or spoon over.
Enjoy 🙂
