Waffles

I love waffles! One savory and one sweet waffle make a perfect sunday brunch for example. This recipe makes about 5-6 waffles.

Batter:

1,5 dl milk

1,5 dl sparkling water

2 eggs

1 tsp baking powder

about 3 dl flour

a pinch of salt

20-25 g melted butter

Allow the batter to sit for half an hour before cooking.

Savoury topping:

cream cheese

chopped spring onion or red onion

sun dried tomatoes

fresh basil

Sweet toppings:

For example jam and whipped cream or ice cream and berries.

Simple Berry Smoothie

I make smoothies whenever I feel like having something quick, healthy and refreshing. This time I used some lovely Finnish berries that I had in a freezer. Almost any fruit or berries will do. Smoothies make a lovely breakfast or a healthy dessert as well.

small handful of blueberries

small handful of strawberries

2,5 dl (a cup) of plain yoghurt

splash of milk

couple of ice cubes

sugar/honey to taste

(vanilla sugar or extract)

Blend everything in a blender and voilá, it´s ready to serve.

Tip: If you use frozen berries, no need for defrosting them unless they are really big. At least my blender can handle them easily enough.
