(Makes about 8 waffles)

BATTER
500 ml Snowflake cake flour (280g)
15 ml baking powder
3 ml salt
10 ml sugar
2 extra large eggs
90 g butter, melted
250 ml buttermilk

FILLING
60 g butter
60 ml light brown sugar
80 ml fresh orange juice
5 ml finely grated orange rind
6 ripe bananas, peeled and cut in slices
2 ml ground cinnamon

1. Batter: Sift dry ingredients together. Add remaining ingredients and beat until smooth. Rest batter for about 30 minutes (mixture should be thick)
2. Heat the waffle iron and spray or brush the plates. Pour the batter into the plates to cover about two thirds of the iron. Close it and wipe away excess.
3. Cook batter for about 3 – 4 minutes until waffle turns light brown on each side. Serve with syrup, ice cream or any other fruit topping of choice.
4. Filling: Heat the butter in a large frying pan. Add the sugar and stir until sugar has melted.
5. Add the orange juice and bananas to the pan and cook for about 3 minutes. Sprinkle cinnamon over bananas and serve with waffles.
