Easy Wholegrain Flax Waffles

These easy wholegrain flax waffles are tender and flavourful |
The waffle iron year was my family’s introduction to homemade waffles. We were a pancake family when I was growing up and real waffles always
seemed exotic, which is funny considering I grew up in a house that actually
had an ebelskivers pan.
Makes about 14 waffles
The waffle irons came with a folder of great recipes but the best recipe
ever came from my brother-in-law Phil, an old recipe from his Norwegian grandmother.
It’s the easiest waffle recipe ever, has great texture and lots of flavour.
This version is only slightly adapted from the original. I usually make them
with stone ground whole wheat or spelt flour.
Leftover waffles freeze well for speedy weekday breakfasts. Just pop them in the toaster to thaw.
