Savoury Cheddar & Herb Waffles

Prep Time 20 minutes
Cook Time 10 minutes
Servings: 5
Course: Side Dish
Cuisine: American

Ingredients
  

  • 250 g Plain flour
  • 1 tbsp Baking Powder
  • 0.5 tsp Salt
  • 0.25 tsp Black pepper
  • 0.25 tsp Garlic powder
  • 2 Large eggs
  • 340 g Buttermilk
  • 115 g Butter
  • 125 g Mature Cheddar
  • 2 tbsp Chopped fresh herbs (chives, parsley or dill)

Method
 

  1. Whisk Dry & Savory: In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
  2. Mix the Liquids: In a separate jug, whisk together the eggs, buttermilk, and melted butter.
  3. Combine: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry. Whisk until just combined—don't overwork the batter.
  4. Fold: Gently stir in the finely grated cheddar and the fresh herbs.
  5. The Pour: Use the WaffleUp measuring cup to pour the batter into the top funnel. Note: Savoury batters can be slightly thicker; if the batter seems too sluggish, add a tablespoon of milk to the bowl.
  6. Bake: Set the machine to Level 4 for a golden, crispy exterior that can hold up to heavy toppings like eggs or avocado.

Notes

These waffles are incredibly versatile. You can go full “Brunch Mode” with a poached egg, or use them as a base for fried chicken.
