Ingredients

  • 2 cups (300g) self-raising flour

  • 2 Tbsps caster sugar

  • 1 tsp baking powder

  • 1 1/2 tsps ground cinnamon or cardamom (optional)

  • 1 1/2 cups (375ml) milk

  • 2 extra-large eggs

  • 50g butter, melted

  • 2 tsps vanilla extract

  • 1 punnet blueberries

  • ice cream, whipped cream or whipped butter, to serve

  • toasted flaked almonds, to serve

Blueberry Syrup

  • 2 punnets blueberries

  • 1/4 cup (55g) caster sugar

  • 1 tsp finely grated orange zest

  • 2 Tbsps freshly squeezed orange juice

    Method:

    1. To make the blueberry syrup, place 1 punnet of the blueberries, sugar, orange zest and juice in a small heavy-based saucepan. Cook, mashing the blueberries and stirring occasionally for 5 minutes or until the berries break down and the mixture thickens slightly. Stir in the remaining blueberries, remove from the heat and set aside. Serve warm or cold.

    2. Preheat the waffle iron. Whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder and spice (if using) together in a large bowl. Whisk the milk, eggs, melted butter and vanilla together in a jug until combined.

    3. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Don’t worry about a few lumps. Spray the waffle iron lightly with cooking oil spray and pour about 1/4 cup (60ml) batter onto waffle iron. Top with 2 to 3 blueberries, dab a little bit of batter on top of the blueberries and close the waffle iron. Cook for a few minutes or until lightly browned and cooked through. The time will depend on your waffle iron. Repeat with remaining batter and blueberries. Clean and lightly re-spray the waffle iron between waffles if necessary.

    4. Serve waffles topped with ice cream, whipped cream or whipped butter, blueberry sauce and almonds.
