Hi and welcome back.
I know recently my blog has been taken up with cruise food, what I eat on a cruise and the food you can find on a cruise. If you missed them, please check them out here. I hope you have enjoyed the blogs but I understand they aren’t relevant to everyone. Today I am back with another blog in my How to Make: series – gluten free vanilla waffles.If you are looking for other gluten free recipes, check out my How to Make series here. I am obsessed with waffles – I find they are that perfect treat you can indulge in for dessert – warmed and served with vanilla ice cream, fresh strawberries and chocolate sauce. My perfect treat on a Sunday weekend after a lovely homemade roast. Alternatively, I have them as a Sunday morning brunch simply drizzled with honey alongside my cafetiere coffee. I never thought I could make gluten free waffles when I was first diagnosed but have grown in confidence in my recipes over the years. I make this recipe using a waffle maker but you can use a waffle pan if that is easier for you. This is a recipe I make every few months and my friends and family enjoy them. I hope you do too.
