Yoghurt Waffles

Even though it's still February, we do get an occasional glimps of spring and yoghurt waffles for breakfast make these late-winter / early-spring days perfect. But they are just as great for spontaneous afternoon coffee or tea parties, as you usually have all of the ingredients stocked (or at least I do) and the preparation only takes a couple of minutes.

The plain joghurt gives these waffles a nice refreshing taste and a very silky texture which perfectly goes with fresh fruit, cinnamon-sugar and a nice cup of tea!

For 10 waffles you will need:

• 2 cups flour
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1 tbsp baking powder
• a pinch of salt
• 2 eggs
• 2 cups plain yoghurt
• 1/4 cup milk
• 1/4 Tcup canola or sunflower oil
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• oil for greasing

1. Preheat waffle maker.

2. In a big bowl, mix flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.

3. In a second bowl or jug, mix the eggs, yoghurt, milk, oil and vanilla extract.

4. Pour the yoghurt mixture into the dry ingredients and whisk until smooth but runny.

5. Grease the irons of your waffle maker and pour some of the batter (amount depending on your waffle maker) in the middle. Close and bake until done; ususally 4-5 minutes.
