Gluten-Free Waffles

**Jubes**'s Note:

Waffles are easy to make using a waffle iron. A great addition to a gluten-free diet. They can be made sweet or savoury. Great for a dessert topped with ice-cream and pure maple syrup, or savoury with scrambled eggs. You can add in finely chopped herbs, spices, finely sliced ham , finely grated apple and cinnamon, lemon rind or zest to the batter for some variations, finely chopped sun-dried tomatoes, a little seeded mustard--whatever you fancy really. NOTE: as with all gluten-free flour different blends can absorb more liquid. Add etra milk if required to make batter a spreading consistency. This batter should spread easily with a knife or spoon into your waffle maker. It's a thick batter but spreadable with a knife. My wafflemaker takes about 1/4 cup per waffle.
