Matcha Waffles with Strawberry Sauce (Tutorial Video)

The key to making waffles with crunchy outside but soft inside, your waffle machine has to be heated up nice and hot before pouring in batter. Don’t cook too long though, or else the waffle becomes dry.

What I like about these matcha waffles is their beautiful green colour and aroma. This dessert dish perfectly brightened up my day. Enjoying a scoop of my favourite ice-cream with these matcha waffles in a warm sunny afternoon, it’s absolutely a bliss.

A good quality matcha power is everything. It gives you the beautiful green colour and a pleasant green tea aroma.

Strawberries are in season and on sale in supermarkets recently. Why not whip up some strawberry sauce to go with these waffles?

As expected, strawberry and matcha are good partners to make you a perfect dessert. They won’t let you down.

Notes：

• While making the batter, just combine all the ingredients. Don’t over mix it. If you spot some lumps in the batter, it’s fine as long as they are not too large.
• If the batter become thicker after resting, you may add a little of water to adjust the consistency.
