Ingredients
Waffles
- 150 g Kumara
- 75 g Butter
- 200 ml Milk
- 2 Tbsp Lemon juice
- 1/2 cup Whole wheat flour
- 1/2 cup Self-raising flour
- 1/4 cup Cornflour
- 1/2 tsp Baking powder
- 1/2 tsp Caster sugar
- 1/4 tsp Salt
- 2 Egg
- Barker’s Peach, Mango & Passionfruit Fruit Compote
Yoghurt Shards
- 1/2 cup Coconut yoghurt
- to serve Fruit
Method
- Cut the purple kumara into even pieces and cook gently in water until tender. Drain and mash well, then set aside to cool.
- Melt the butter and set aside to cool.
- Combine the milk and lemon juice and set aside to thicken.
- Put the flours, cornflour, baking powder, caster sugar and salt in a bowl and mix to combine, then create a well in the middle.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk mixture, eggs and kumara to a smooth mix.
- Stir this into the dry, flour mix until smooth then gently fold in the butter.
- Heat a waffle iron to medium setting.
- Cook waffles – around 5 mins for a deep iron and 3-4 mins for a thinner iron - until the batter is cooked through and they are nicely browned. Keep warm on a rack in a 180°C oven while you cook the rest of the waffles.
- Serve with yoghurt and drizzle liberally with Barker’s Compote and sprinkle over the yoghurt shards. Topping: your choice of freeze-dried fruit (we used blueberry and mandarin), chia seeds, coconut, chopped fresh fruit, toasted muesli etc.
Tips
- You can make your waffles ahead and reheat them in the oven, or pop them in the toaster for a minute, but take care they don’t burn.
