Method · 25 min
- Place butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on MEDIUM in 20-second bursts, stirring, until melted. Cool.
- Preheat a 2-slice waffle maker.
- Place melted butter, buttermilk, eggs and vanilla in a medium jug. Whisk until combined.
- Sift flour, sugar, baking powder and salt into a medium bowl. Using a spoon, make a well in the centre of the flour mixture. Slowly pour the buttermilk mixture into the well. Whisk until the batter is combined, thick and lumpy.
- Lightly spray the top and bottom of the waffle maker with cooking oil spray. Pour ½ cup of the batter into the centre of each waffle mould. Close the lid and cook for 3 minutes or until golden brown. Transfer waffles to a plate and cover to keep warm. Repeat cooking with remaining batter, spraying the waffle maker in between batches with cooking oil spray, to make 6 waffles in total.
- Serve waffles topped with yoghurt, halved bananas and blueberries, drizzled with maple syrup.
Using a waffle maker, this recipe is ready in just 25 minutes and makes six waffles.
