If you're using silicone moulds for the first time, spray them lightly with oil. You shouldn't need to do this subsequently. Place them on an oven tray.
Melt the butter in a pan over a low heat, then set aside to cool slightly.
Sift the dry ingredients into a bowl.
Make a well in the centre and break in the eggs.
Start stirring from the middle outwards, slowly adding 410 ml milk until you form a smooth batter.
Add the butter and stir until incorporated.
Ladle the batter into the moulds. There should be just enough to completely fill 8 Lékué waffle moulds with none left over.
Bake in the middle of the oven at 220℃ (425℉, Gas 7) for 10 minutes or until set.
Remove from the oven and turn out onto the oven tray. Place back in the oven with the pattern side up for a further 5 minutes or so until the waffles are crisp and golden.
Maple Chocolate Sauce
Meanwhile melt 75g good quality dark chocolate with 100g double cream in a pan over low heat.
Add 1 tbsp maple syrup and stir until it's smooth and glossy.
Pour the warm sauce over the hot waffles and scatter some berries or pomegranate seeds over the top.
