Background

This zingy lemon and pistachio waffle is perfect for spring weekend breakfasts, particularly during the Easter holidays. I used Acacia honey for the recipe but you can use any runny honey of your choice. Serve it with honey and pistachios or custard, lemon curd, fruit compote etc - whatever you fancy!

Ingredients

1 cup self-raising flour
2 tsp baking powder
2 Tbsp honey
1 large egg
Zest and juice of one large lemon
½ cup pistachios kernel
1½ cup milk or plant-based milk
1 Tbsp vegetable oil

Instructions

Put all ingredients in a food processer.
Pulse until you get a thick thick but pourable batter. Rest for a few minutes until the waffle maker warms up.
Ladle some batter into the maker, let it spread out evenly, then close the lid. Following the manufacturer’s instructions, cook the waffle for a few minutes - it should be golden and crispy.
Make more waffles from the remaining batter. It’s enough for 3 or 4 waffles, depending on your machine.
Serve the waffles immediately with honey and lightly toasted pistachios, or other toppings, spreads, creams of your choice.
