Spelt Waffles with Rose Raspberry Sauce

Crisp on the outside, light and fluffy on the inside. This recipe for spelt waffles is made with wholemeal spelt flour and lightly flavoured with lemon and cardamom. These delicious Belgian waffles are further enhanced by a good drizzle of homemade rose raspberry sauce and a scattering of fresh raspberries. Go on, you know you need some for that special breakfast.

Classic Belgian waffles are a real treat, but they’re hard to make at home without a dedicated waffle maker. The Volcano Waffle Maker, available exclusively from Andrew James, is an innovative British design, engineered to cook perfect Belgian style waffles with no fuss and no mess.

Volcano Waffle Maker

I’ve made spelt waffles plenty of times before, but in a silicone mould where the waffles are baked in the oven. I’ve never used or owned a “proper” waffle maker before, so I don’t actually know that the Volcano Waffle Maker is any better than others on the market. BUT, I was impressed.

In a short space of time I’d made six large spelt waffles that were crisp on the outside and light and fluffy on the inside. They turned out of the waffle maker almost perfectly, with very little mess involved. They looked like the real deal. CT was even more impressed to find he had fresh spelt waffles awaiting him when he got home.

This British designed appliance won the 2017 IHA Global Innovation Award for its unique design and it’s only available to buy at Andrew James. Currently selling at £29.99 with a normal RRP of £40.99.

You can see why the Volcano Waffle Maker was thus named. Like a volcano, it has sloping sides which enables the batter to access every nook and cranny. Pour the batter through the crater (or funnel if you prefer).

It cooks from the bottom up and you can watch the batter rise and bubble through the funnel. I kept expecting it to flow over the top like lava, but luckily the crater/funnel is tall enough to prevent this. The seal is very secure and stops the batter from leaking out of the sides. It’s a bit of theatre in the kitchen and seems like an ideal waffle maker for families as it’s both practical and fun.

What I have to say about the Volcano Waffle Maker

Wholemeal Spelt Waffles

Pros

  • Creates near perfect waffles every time.
  • Cook the waffles a little bit longer and they’ll remain in their initial cone shape. The spelt waffles can then be used as an edible bowl.
  • Easy to use and accompanying instructions clear.
  • Only takes 4-5 minutes to produce fresh hot waffles.
  • Waffles turn out of the non-stick plates easily and cleanly.
  • Neat design which makes it relatively easy to store. The funnel slots into the bottom of the appliance when not in use, so there aren’t too many sticking out bits.
  • Waffles are large (18cm x 2cm) and can be divided easily into four; everyone can be eating a piece whilst the next one is cooking.

 Cons

  • I wasn’t entirely convinced by the “easy to clean” claim. Obviously the main part of the waffle maker can’t go into the kitchen sink or dishwasher, so it’s a bit fiddly to clean. The deep grooves in the plates make it difficult to get a cloth or sponge in. On the other hand, the plates are non-stick and the waffles came out cleanly, so there wasn’t much mess to clean up. The funnel and measuring cup, which do need thorough cleaning, can be washed in the sink, though not in a dishwasher.
  • Only three accompanying recipes and none of them are particularly exciting. No sauces and no savoury options.

Spelt Waffles with Rose Raspberry Sauce

I based my waffle batter on the recipe for basic waffle mix found in the accompanying booklet. However, I wasn’t going to use white flour, oh no! Even though I’d never used a waffle maker before, I was convinced my trusty wholemeal spelt flour would do the trick. And it did.

The waffles rose well and had the classic prerequisites of being crisp on the outside and light and fluffy on the inside.

I went my own way with the flavours, creating a batter with notes of lemon and cardamom rather than vanilla; I knew these would set off the rose raspberry sauce nicely. In addition, I changed the quantities slightly, used duck eggs instead of hens, butter instead of vegetable oil and a little golden caster sugar.

It just so happened that I used my Optimum Vac2 Blender to whizz up both the sauce and the batter. I know you won’t be in the least surprised, for it does make the whole process even easier.

The rose raspberry sauce is divine. It’s both sweet and sharp with just a hint of rose coming through to complement the raspberry flavour.

Rose and raspberries are a brilliant combination that I’ve used many times. These raspberry rose friands are particularly good. You might also like this raspberry, rose white chocolate cake or these raspberry & rose curd cupcakes.

I reach into the fridge for my oh so easy to make rose syrup; if you aren’t able to make any, rose water or Holy Lama’s rose oil drops should work fine.

Rose Raspberry Sauce

We ate these spelt waffles with rose raspberry sauce for supper, but they’d be even better as a special weekend breakfast or brunch. We found that you can’t go wrong with extra raspberries and a spoonful of whipped cream.

Wondering What To Do With Your Excess Waffles?

The recipe creates six large waffles, which is great for an occasion, but too many for just the two of us. However, once cooked they can be frozen in readiness for the next time you fancy waffles.

We might have just done that already. Time to get that waffle maker out again. Simply allow the frozen spelt waffles to thaw, then place them in the toaster for a minute or two and they’re as good as new.

Ingredients

Rose Raspberry Sauce

  • 150 g raspberries

  • ½ lemon juiced
  • 1 tsp rose syrup + 1 drop rose extract (I used Holy Lama Spice Drops)

Lemon Cardamom Waffle Batter

  • 1 lemon zested

  • 250 g wholemeal spelt flour
  • 4 tsp baking powder
  • 25 g golden caster sugar

  • 125 g butter melted
  • 400 ml whole milk

Instructions

Rose Raspberry Sauce

  • Place all ingredients into a blender and blitz for a few seconds.
  • Pass the mixture through a sieve to remove any seedy bits.

Lemon Cardamom Waffle Batter

  • Place all the ingredients into a blender and whizz until everything's just combined. Alternatively, place the dry ingredients into a large bowl then whisk in the wet ingredients until just combined.
  • Heat the waffle maker as per instructions.
    When the green light comes on, slowly pour a measuring cup (170ml) of batter into the funnel.
  • Watch the batter bubble up the funnel. When the bubbles stop, the waffles are ready – about 4-5 minutes. 
  • Open the waffle maker, remove with plastic or wooden tongs. Repeat the process.
  • Drizzle the sauce over the hot waffles and tuck in. Ice cream is a good addition too.

Notes

If you prefer something a bit more neutral, simply leave the lemon and/or cardamom out.
You could also replace with other flavours such as orange zest, cinnamon or cocoa.
Replace rose syrup and/or drops with rose water or rose extract.

  42. You know, this is going to sound ridiculous but I have never eaten a waffle – except the potato variety. I was an embarrassing age before I realised a waffle was not the same thing as a potato waffle, and all of a sudden the toppings made so much more sense (I always wondered why people topped potato waffles with cream and the like!!)

  71. I buy ready made waffles, which i am betting are not as good as with a waffle maker, we normally have them as a desert, with fresh fruit and yogurt or if i am being really naughty fresh cream, i have also been known to put them in trifles,

  72. Mmmm I love waffles, in fact the whole family love waffles! I love bananas and nutella with chopped nuts. Mmm your making me hungry now!

  73. Ooops got so excited at the thought of winning a waffle maker I forgot to list my favourite toppings hmm bacon and maple syrup for breakfast, fried chicken and maple syrup for dinner, nutella and strawberries for dessert, ice cream and chocolate sauce for a snack mmm my mouths watering just thinking about it…

  74. OMG LOVE LOVE LOVE WAFFLES!!!!!! Always wanted a waffle maker but the other half thinks we (I) have too many gadgets already. Can’t say anything if I win one though 😉

  75. I buy shop waffles but I would love to make my own I warm them in the toaster than have them with Nutella and sliced banana

  78. I’ve never made waffles myself, but when I’m buying them in a cafe I love them with bacon and maple syrup on them!

  79. I’ve never made waffles before, but I would probably serve mine with Halo Top low calorie ice cream and peanut butter!! I’m obsessed with both of them at the moment. Or when my strawberries start producing, I would serve with strawberries and cream.

  80. I love them with Nutella, fresh raspberries and either clotted cream, or vanilla ice-cream. Very indulgent but worth it as a treat.

  81. We love them with some melted chocolate in the waffles and home made strawberry jam and lots of whipped cream – yummy 🙂

  82. I like my waffles with fresh fruit and cream , my son prefers fresh fruit and chocolate sauce and my daughter has hers with syrup

  83. First of all, that raspberry rose sauce sounds amazing! I’ve been eyeing up a waffle maker for a long time, but I was undecided which one to go for. I love the sound of this one! It certainly looks like it makes perfect waffles. I would serve my waffles with maple syrup and berries. Not very adventurous, but you can’t beat it!

  84. With lots of fresh fruit for me – especially raspberries! A little syrup doesn’t hurt wither – after all the fruit’s so healthy, it cancels out the sugar!

  85. I’d love to have waffles with ice cream and hot fudge. However, I am on a diet so cannot indulge. Boo x

  86. I’ve got a super simple simple waffle maker that produces waffles in the shape of animals lol (thanks kids! lol) We are usually pretty boring and have our waffles plain with icing sugar of maple syrup and some fruit. I am so trying your spelt waffles though as they sound delicious and definitely much healthier plus the sauce sounds divine!

    1. Thanks Jo. Animal waffles sounds like something we all need from time to time. I’m feeling hard done by now 😀 Do let me know what you think if you do give them a try.

  87. I haven’t eaten waffles for years but I am not sure why as a waffles with strawberry syrup and freshly whipped cream is divine.

  91. I love sweet waffles with blueberries and maple syrup, but my favourite of all are savoury ones with mashed potato and cheese added to the batter. Frozen “potato waffles” are a mere shadow of them!

  92. I love waffles for a breakfast treat. Add some cinnamon to the batter and then top with stewed fruit and yogurt. If I’m feeling indulgent it will be banana, chocolate chips and peanut butter 🙂

  93. I do love chocolate spread on a waffle but then usually find them too filling to eat them all, maybe fruit and cream would be lighter?

  114. my daughter is addicted to shredded apple pancakes so I would make the same healthy treat in the waffle maker

  115. The best waffles I ever had were in Belgium. Never made them myself as never had a waffle maker. The recipie above looks delicious!

  116. If I’m having healthy waffles I’ll have them with goats cheese and red onion, but if I’m having unhealthy ones as a rare treat I’ll go all out and have ice cream, chocolate sauce, mini marshmallows and M&M’s!!

  117. I like my waffles sweet with a good maple syrup, bananas and blueberries. Then again I also like them with strawberries and ice cream or hot chocolate sauce . The list goes on…

  118. It’s been a while since I’ve had waffles, but I’d usually have them sweet, with either maple or golden syrup. I don’t have that much of a sweet tooth these days, so would like to try savoury toppings – suggestions welcome! 🙂

    1. Cheese in the batter is always a good start, then you can top with some sort of tomato sauce or roasted vegetables. I haven’t done much experimenting with savoury waffles yet, but my kale pancakes are the business. Watch this space.

  119. We have just had a weekend in Belgium and have come home addicted to waffles with cream and chocolate sauce x

  120. I would love to try to make a healthier waffle to eat as a savoury main course maybe with eggs, tomatoes and avocado.

  121. I definitely go for the sweeter and usually less healthy option of strawberries, banana and melted chocolate!

  122. I’ve only had waffles with maple syrup, not keen on the taste of the shop bought ones either. This recipe with raberries and rose sounds great, I’ve still got frozen raspberries from the garden waiting to be used up, and waffles make with spelt sounds so tasty

    1. Thanks Angie. Wholemeal spelt has been my staple now for more years than I care to remember. It’s such a good all rounder as well as tasting nutty and delicious.

  123. l have to be honest l have never made them, but buy the ones from the supermarket and have them with fresh fruit and ice cream.

  124. I have only ever had waffles once at kaspas and it was covered in melted chocolate, chopped nuts and I’ve cream, I would love to make them at home, my children love them too, my mum and son go to kaspas most weekends xxx

  125. Freshly cooked, warm with some delicious and nutritious fruit. Some vanilla ice cream alongside, as a treat.

  126. I like my waffles with chocolate. But I must try a savoury version soon, because it took me ages to try that with croissants, and I love it now!

  127. I don’t have waffles very often because I don’t have a waffle machine but I would love them with strawberry’s & cream YUM!

  128. This looks so much fun to try. I’ve never eaten waffles so I wouldn’t know where to start really. Vanilla with a berry coulis or when I’m braver perhaps some cocoa in the waffles and a dark cherry sauce?

  129. I like my waffles with organic chia, hemp and flaxseeds.
    Organic maple syrup & organic raw whipped cream.

    1. Waffles are definitely a real treat and I’m loving your healthy twist on this delicious classic Choclette with the use of Spelt. I’d love to have a go at making these 🙂
