All-in-One Waffle & Pancake Batter

The batter every busy morning needs: milk, eggs, butter and vanilla blended smooth with flour, baking powder and a pinch of soda — pour it into a waffle iron for crisp squares or onto a pan for fluffy pancakes, and serve with chocolate, fruit and a dusting of sugar.

How to Prepare

1

Blend the milk, eggs, butter, vanilla and sugar until smooth.

2

Add the flour, baking powder and baking soda and blend just until combined.

3

Let the batter rest a few minutes (or store covered in the fridge up to a week).

4

For waffles, pour into a hot waffle iron and cook until crisp and golden.

5

For pancakes, ladle onto a buttered pan and flip when bubbles form.

6

Serve with chocolate drizzle, fresh fruit and a dusting of icing sugar.

Chef Noor's Tip

Resting the batter ten minutes relaxes the gluten — the waffles turn out crisper and the pancakes fluffier.
