We’ve tried lots of waffle recipes from the mass of cookbooks that we have but they are all so complicated. Split eggs, use about 100 bowls (or so it would seem).

But to be honest, we’re more of a throw it all in a bowl, use a jug to pour onto the waffle iron, let it go and then watch the kids eat them all up and ask for more.

And this recipe really works like that!

The speed that they disappear into the kids stomaches.

We have to presume that they are good we don’t honestly know as by the time we’ve finished making them they have all disappeared.

The waffle batter mix makes 8 good sized waffles in my Waffle Iron but they fly off so quickly that it’s hard to tell.

Although you can keep a plate heated and pile them up as soon as they start cooking the kids descend on the kitchen drawn by the smell and start to eat them up.

We’re not flashy with toppings on a sleepover – there is maple syrup, chocolate sauce, and Nutella that’s it. It seems to cover everything that the kids enjoy.
