Waffles In a large earthenware bowl sift 500 g (18 oz., 4/2 cups) plain (all-purpose) flour with 2 teaspoons bicarbonate of soda (baking soda), 4 teaspoons baking powder and 2 teaspoons salt. Add 30-40 g melted butter, 5 beaten eggs and 750 ml (1/4 pints, 3/4 cups) milk (or more, if very light waffles are preferred).
Mix well until the batter is runny and completely smooth. Heat and, if necessary, grease a waffle iron. Pour a small ladle of batter in one half of the open waffle iron. Close the mould and turn it over so that the batter is distributed equally in both halves. Leave to cook. Open the waffle iron, take out the waffle, sprinkle with icing (confectioner’s) sugar and serve.
