Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 cup lactose free milk
- 2 tablespoons white vinegar
- 1 cup plain flour/all purpose flour
- ¼ cup corn flour
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon bicarbonate of soda/baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup grated aged cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine the lactose-free milk and white vinegar. Let it sit for 5 minutes to create a buttermilk substitute.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the plain flour, corn flour, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, beat the egg and then add the olive oil. Pour in the prepared "buttermilk" mixture and mix well.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
- Gently fold in the grated cheddar cheese and chopped fresh chives into the batter.
- Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions. Lightly grease the waffle iron with a small amount of oil or cooking spray. Pour enough batter onto the preheated waffle iron to cover the waffle grid (for my mini Kmart waffle iron, this is ¼ cup batter per waffle). Close the lid and cook until the waffle is golden brown and crisp.
- Carefully remove the waffle and repeat the process with the remaining batter.
- Serve the Cheddar and Chive Savoury Waffles warm, either on their own or with your favourite savoury toppings, such as poached eggs and avocado.
Notes
I use dairy free milk such as oat milk in these waffles as that’s what I prefer using but you could also substitute with any dairy free or lactose free milk you prefer to keep the recipe ok for those with a lactose intolerance.
Makes 8 waffles which is enough for 4 people at 2 waffles each with eggs and avocado.
Store any leftover waffles in the fridge or freezer and reheat in the toaster or air fryer until warm and crispy.
