These cheesy waffles make excellent lunch box snacks, so make a double batch so you can pop the leftovers into backpacks the next day.
Method
-
1. Into a large bowl, sift the flour, salt, baking powder, sugar, garlic powder, onion powder and paprika.
-
2. Stir in the Parmesan cheese, chives and spring onion.
-
3. In a separate jug, whisk together the contents of one of the packets of Royco Cheddar Cheese Sauce, the milk, eggs and oil. Pour this into the dry ingredients and stir well to make a smooth batter.
-
4. Set aside to rest while you heat a waffle maker. Spray the waffle-maker surfaces with cooking spray (or brush with oil) to prevent sticking.
-
5 Add a large spoonful of the mixture to the waffle maker, close the lid and cook until golden brown. Repeat with the remaining batter. Keep the waffles warm at a low temperature in the oven, or wrap them in a clean tea towel while you finish cooking the rest.
-
6 To make the sauce, tip the contents of the second packet of Royco Chedder Cheese Sauce into another jug, add the boiling water and stir with a fork to a smooth sauce.
-
7 Serve the waffles hot, topped with honey-glazed bacon and cheese sauce.
