How to make toasted ginger syrup waffles recipe

Serves 4

Total cooking time 10 minutes

Ingredients:
50 g (2 oz) butter
4 tablespoons double cream
2 tablespoons soft dark brown sugar
15 g (½ oz) stem ginger, drained and finely chopped
2 tablespoons stem ginger syrup
8 Belgian-style toasting waffles
good-quality vanilla ice cream, to serve

Method:
Place the butter in a small pan with the cream, sugar, stem ginger and syrup. Warm over a low heat for 5–6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the butter has melted and the sugar dissolved.

Meanwhile, toast the waffles according to the packet instructions and arrange on serving plates. Top with a scoop of ice cream and serve warm, drizzled with the ginger syrup.

For ginger syrup pain perdu, prepare the ginger syrup as in the toasted ginger syrup waffles. Meanwhile, place 2 eggs in a large, shallow bowl with 100 g (3½ oz) caster sugar and 250 ml (8 fl oz) milk and whisk until smooth.

Dip 4 slices of slightly stale brioche into the mixture, turning to coat both sides. Melt 75 g (3 oz) unsalted butter in a large, nonstick frying pan and cook the brioche over a medium-low heat for 4–5 minutes, turning once, until golden.

Arrange on plates and top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, a dusting of icing sugar and a drizzle of the ginger syrup. Total cooking time 20 minutes.
