Cooking Tips

Cook until just coats a metal spoon:
For stirred custard mixtures, the eggs are cooked just right when a thin film adheres to a metal spoon when dipped into the custard. Stirred custards should not boil. This act of coating a metal spoon is 20 to 30 degrees below boiling. The finished product should be soft and thickened but not set. Stirred custards will thicken slightly after refrigeration.

EASY Waffles

Serves 4

Recipe by Sophie Gray

If you don’t have a waffle iron then make ‘poffles’ - cook the batter in a pan like crispy pikelets. Top with maple syrup, honey or lemon curd and your favourite fresh or cooked fruit for a weekend treat that’s easy and delicious.

Ingredients:
2 cups self raising flour
½ tsp baking soda
A pinch of salt
3 eggs separated
1 ½ cups milk
30 g melted butter

Method:

  1. In a large bowl mix together the flour, baking soda and salt. Make a well in the middle and add the egg yolks and the milk and whisk in gradually incorporating the flour from around the sides to form a lump free batter. Fold in the melted butter.
  2. Whisk the egg whites to stiff peaks, and using a metal spoon fold them into the batter.
  3. Heat the waffle iron and cook according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Cooks tip: Leftover waffles can be frozen and reheated in a warm oven. If you have left over batter, cook it but leave the waffles slightly under done. Freeze and use the toaster to reheat without overcooking them.
