Oatmeal Raisin Waffles
- 1 cup plain flour
- 1/2 cup oatmeal
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 pinch salt
- 2/3 cup raisins or 2/3 cup sultana
- 1 lemon, zest of, grated
- 1 egg
- 1/2 - 2/3 cup milk
- 1 1/2 tablespoons butter, melted
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the plain flour, oatmeal, sugar, baking powder and salt and stir briefly. Add the raisins and lemon zest and stir until evenly combined.
- Make a well in the centre of the dry ingredients and break the egg into the centre. Stir to gradually incorporate the egg into the flour mixture, then add the milk a little at a time, stirring after each addition, to give a well-blended batter. Set aside for 20 minutes.
- When ready to proceed, heat the waffle maker and grease with oil spray or butter as desired. Add the melted butter to the batter and stir to combine.
- Ladle a quarter of the mixture onto the hotplates of the waffle maker (use less if you have a small stovetop waffle iron). Ensure the batter is evenly distributed then press the sides of the waffle maker together and clamp shut. Cook for 3-5 minutes, depending on whether you like your waffles slightly soft or crisp and honey-brown.
- Serve immediately, dusted with a little sugar if desired, or keep the cooked waffle warm in a low oven while you toast the remainder.
