2 Cups Batter
  • 1 cup (125 g) All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 TBSP (15 g) Granulated Sugar
  • 1 tsp (5 g) Baking Powder
  • ½ tsp (4 g) Baking Soda
  • ¼ tsp (2 g) Sea Salt
  • 1 cup (240 g) Kéfir
  • 0 to ¼ cup (60 g) Milk (optional)
  • 1 (50 g) Egg
  • 3 TBSP (45 g) Unsalted Butter, melted OR Sunflower Oil
  • ½ tsp (3 g) Vanilla extract (optional)
  • For waffle maker surface Non-stick Spray or vegetable oil
4 Cups Batter
  • 2 cups (250 g) All-Purpose Flour
  • 2 TBSP (25 g) Granulated Sugar
  • 2 tsp (10 g) Baking Powder
  • 1 tsp (7 g) Baking Soda
  • ½ tsp (3 g) Sea Salt
  • 2 cups (480 g) Kéfir
  • 0 to ½ cup (120 g) Milk (optional)

  • 6 TBSP (85 g) Unsalted Butter, melted OR Sunflower Oil
  • 1 tsp (5 g) Vanilla extract (optional)
  • For waffle maker surface Non-stick Spray or vegetable oil
Instructions
  1. Heat waffle iron
  2. In a large bowl whisk together dry ingredients
  3. In a medium sized bowl combine all wet ingredients and whisk. Milk can be added to thin the batter.
    
Using a separate bowl for wet mixture then adding to the dry mixture results in less clumps
  4. Add wet ingredients to dry and whisk. Do NOT whisk again later. You will flatten the batter.
Bake a waffle
  1. Use non-stick spray or brush some oil on waffle iron plates
  2. For an 8” round iron, pour 1 cup of batter in centre. The amount depends on your waffle maker size. The instructions will usually say how much to use.
  3. Bake for about 5 min. Time and temp effect how a waffle bakes. Higher temp uses lower time. The shorter the time the bigger the difference between crust and inside softness. Do not open early to check as this will tear the waffle. If waffle too dark, lower temperature setting. Auto waffle makers will beep when waffle is done.
  4. Remove the waffle by gently loosening the edges with a heat-proof plastic spatula, wooden spatula or non-stick coated tongs.
  5. Serve immediately or place in a 200F (90C) oven to keep them warm.
Freezing Waffles
  1. Place them on a rack until cool then place in the freezer.
  2. Once frozen, arrange then in a freezer bag or plastic container.
  3. Toast frozen waffle to serve. Place frozen waffles in a 350°F/180°C oven for 5 minutes. If you are going to heat with a toaster, let the waffles thaw first.
