Griddle pan waffles

What do you do when you don't have a waffle iron like me, and you occasionally get waffle cravings? Get a recipe which doesn't require a waffle iron!

I found the perfect recipe thanks to Jamie's Christmas show. Here's the recipe:

Ingredients
225g self raising flour
2.5 level tbsp baking powder (yes, you heard right)
100g melted butter
Pinch salt
2 eggs

Method
My method deviates from Jamie's. I basically mix the dry, then the wet. Then making a well in the centre of my dry ingredients, I pour in the wet and slowly mix it in, ensuring no lumps. It yields a pretty thick batter. Let rest for 30 mins.

Oil a griddle pan, wiping off the excess with a kitchen towel. Pour in the batter into the heated pan. Set it on high for a minute, then turn down to medium for 8 minutes.

To flip, place a chopping board or big plate on top. Then bravely and confidently turn over. Repeat, ie 1 min high, 8 to 10 minutes medium or until cooked.

Alternatively, you can do little mounds of batter instead of one big waffle.

Slide out onto the chopping board. Serve immediately with whatever toppings you like.

Comments: one blogger had some problems turning it over. It worked pretty well for me, but yes, the (over) use of the baking powder although producing a very soft cakey texture and made it very crumbly, also tasted very strongly of baking powder. I might reduce it next time and see what else is compromised.
