Ever since I got my waffle iron, I have had this tendency to neglect it. It’s just hanging out on the bottom shelf of the corner cabinet in the kitchen for months on end. But when I finally remember to make some waffles, I make enough of them to fill half a drawer in the freezer, which kind of makes up for the neglect, I guess. Unfortunately, this recipe isn’t large enough to fill half a freezer drawer. On the upside, you don’t need a fancy mixer to make the batter. A bowl and a whisk will do. But you can, of course, make it with a mixer. I’m not going to stop you.

The flavour combination for this recipe started with the idea of a spring waffle. The first thing that comes to mind when thinking of spring is raspberries. I then added lime – my current favourite from the citrus family, a little desiccated coconut, and to make it complete, some whipped cream. These waffles freeze well, so you could multiply the recipe to fill up your freezer. Reheating them in a toaster makes them nice and crispy.
