Editorial Notes
The ingredient tips, suggestions, variations, facts, questions and answers below are not edits to the original author's recipe. They are not meant to imply any change would improve the recipe. They're offered for convenience, alternative ideas, and points of interest. If you have any comments about them, please post in the Help & Ideas forum.
- Use a high-quality all-purpose flour for best results.
- If you don't have golden caster sugar, white granulated sugar can be used instead.
- Substitute the all-purpose flour for whole wheat flour for a healthier option. Whole wheat flour is higher in fiber and protein than all-purpose flour, and provides more nutrients such as magnesium, iron, and B vitamins.
- Substitute the sunflower oil for coconut oil for a more flavorful option. Coconut oil has a nutty flavor that complements the waffle batter, and also contains healthy fats that can help raise good cholesterol levels.
Fruit Waffles Add 1/2 cup of your favorite chopped fruit to the batter and cook as usual. Serve with a dollop of Greek yogurt, a drizzle of honey, and extra fresh fruit.
