Easy Enough for Kids to Make
These waffles are delicious and nutritious, and my 10-year-old daughter makes them all the time—from milling the grain through the whole process.
Dry ingredients
- 360 g fresh-milled spelt flour
- 82 g granulated sugar
- ¼ teaspoon stevia
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 teaspoons cream of tartar
- ½ teaspoon salt
Note from Melissa: I actually like adding soy sauce instead of salt. It adds a little umami, but it’s completely optional. If you try it, leave the salt out of the dry ingredients and add 1 teaspoon soy sauce with the wet ingredients.
Whisk the dry ingredients together. If preparing the mix ahead, store it in an airtight container.
Wet ingredients
- 2 cups milk, warmed to room temperature
- 4 tablespoons melted butter
- 2 eggs
Browned butter is optional; melted butter works too.
When you’re ready to cook
Make the waffles
- Whisk the room-temperature milk, melted butter, and eggs together. If using soy sauce instead of salt, add it here.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mix. Stir only until no dry flour remains.
- Let the batter rest for 20 minutes.
- Gently stir the batter, then cook the waffles according to your waffle maker’s directions.
The number of waffles depends on the size and style of your waffle maker.
