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 Andrew James says about the Volcano Waffle Maker
- Sloped plates for even distribution
- Deep cooking plates for authentic Belgian waffles
- Compact design & smart storage
- Indicator light
- Tight seal
- Secure clip
- Easy to clean
- 700 Watt heater
What I have to say about the Volcano Waffle Maker
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 Air Vacuum 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.
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.

Spelt Waffles with Rose Raspberry Sauce – The Recipe
Spelt Waffles with Rose Raspberry Sauce
Ingredients
Rose Raspberry Sauce
- 150 g raspberries
- 25 g golden caster sugar
- juice of ½ lemon
- 1 tsp rose syrup + 1 drop rose oil (from Holy Lama Spice Drops)
Lemon Cardamom Waffle Batter
- zest of 1 lemon
- 2 drops cardamom oil (from Holy Lama Spice Drops)
- 2 large eggs I used duck eggs
- 250 g wholemeal spelt flour
- 4 tsp baking powder
- 25 g golden caster sugar
- pinch Himalayan pink rock salt or use your salt of choice
- 125 g melted butter
- 400 ml whole milk
Instructions
Rose Raspberry Sauce
- Place all ingredients into a blender and blitz for a few seconds. I used my Optimum Air2 Vacuum Blender.
- 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. I used my Optimum Air2 Vacuum Blender. 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.

Waffles are a big part of my childhood my Nan & Great Aunt brought a waffle iron with them when they moved here from Germany and they used to make them in big batches to give to everyone. Luckily it’s a lot easier to get your hand on a waffle iron, I just have a basic one. I just use a basic waffle recipe but the family secret is to replace half the sugar with vanilla sugar.
Hahaha Samantha. Now you’ve given that secret away. It’s a good one and actually I’ve made them this way too – delicious.

Thanks Nickki. The rose adds just a touch of the exotic to the sauce and it’s delicious. Good luck with the waffle maker.

My favourite waffle topping as to be toffee sauce and ice cream
I like to eat mine warm with ice cream and blueberries
ice cream, golden syrup, fruit……there are a lot of choices for toppings here okay
I’d love to have waffles with ice cream and hot fudge. However, I am on a diet so cannot indulge. Boo x
Mmm.. your waffles look so yummy, think I may have to try that next!
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!
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.
I love mine with maple syrup and vanilla ice cream

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!
Ooh, you cheesy potato waffles sound amazing Jane. I’m looking forward to experimenting more with the savoury side.
I love my waffles with blueberries and ice cream
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 🙂
I like mine with fresh fruit such as strawberries and whipped cream!
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?
For a sweet waffle I love melted chocolate! A savoury waffle has to be cheese and garlic mushrooms! xx
I like waffles with a mixture of summer berries and some good vanilla ice cream
i love to eat my waffles pretty simple with bananas and some vanilla cream, maybe a dusting of sugar if I want it sweeter

Thank you for the review Choclette! Those waffles look delicious
Thank you for the chance to try the waffle maker.
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…
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! 🙂
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.
i love my waffles with maple syrup or some times just plain
I like my waffles with some golden syrup squirted over some strawberries and cream
i like chocolate spread and banana, would be good to get some more ideas though x

Drizzled with chocolate sauce, strawberries and ice cream . So delicious and indulgent!
I like to eat my waffles hot, with chocolate, cream and sprinkles.
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
They look great with raspberry sauce and spelt is my favourite!
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.
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.
They are super easy to make Sarah – if you have a waffle maker 😉
I like freshy made hot waffles with ice cream,banana and chocolate sauce on top.
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
Freshly cooked, warm with some delicious and nutritious fruit. Some vanilla ice cream alongside, as a treat.
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!

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?
Ooh chocolate and cherry. Now that sounds like a must try.
I like my waffles with organic chia, hemp and flaxseeds.
Organic maple syrup & organic raw whipped cream.
Ooh, now you’re talking Anne. Sounds wonderful. I hadn’t thought of seeds. Where do you get your raw cream from?
