Aspen Lodge Waffles with Sambucca Sauce

Ingredients


(Vegetarian)
3 cups whole-wheat flour
½ cup mixed grain flour
½ teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon baking soda
4 eggs
¼ cup honey
¼ cup butter, melted & cooled
4 cups buttermilk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
melted butter (for waffle iron)
For the syrup:
1 cup granulated sugar
¾ cup water
¼ cup cream
1 dessertspoon cornflour,
mixed with water to a thin paste
1 measure Sambucca

Recipe


Sift together the flours, baking powder and baking soda in a large bowl.
In a medium bowl beat the eggs. Beat in the honey and the melted, cooled butter and then stir in the buttermilk and vanilla. Add the egg mixture to the dry ingredients, mixing to moisten.

Heat the waffle iron and brush with the melted butter. Pour enough batter in to just fill the waffle iron. Close and cook on both sides until the steaming stops. Repeat until all the batter is used. Keep the waffles warm until the syrup is ready.

To make the syrup, bring the sugar, water and cream to the boil. Simmer for 3 minutes. Slowly add the cornflour mixture and bring once again to the boil, stirring constantly until the syrup reaches the desired consistency. Simmer for about 4 minutes. Finally add the Sambucca and pour over the warm waffles served with your favourite seasonal fruits.
