Ingredients

Method

  1. Preheat a waffle iron according to its instructions. Whisk flour, baking powder and salt in a bowl; whisk egg, milk and butter separately.
  2. Fold wet ingredients into dry, then stir in cheddar and chives. Do not beat until perfectly smooth.
  3. Cook portions in the waffle iron until golden, steam has mostly subsided and the centers are fully set at 71°C/160°F.
A little note

Keep finished waffles on a rack rather than stacking, which traps steam.

Cooking tips

  • Fold the waffle batter only until the flour is incorporated; small lumps are fine.
  • Wait for the waffle iron to recover its heat between batches, and check the center temperature in the method.
