Ingredients

    1/4 cup (60 mL) dry red lentils

    2 cups (500 mL) all-purpose flour, or half all-purpose, half whole wheat

    1 Tbsp (15 mL) sugar

    1 Tbsp (15 mL) baking powder

    1/4 tsp (1 mL) salt

    11/2 cups (375 mL) milk

    2 large eggs

    1/4 cup (60 mL) canola oil

    1 tsp (5 mL) vanilla

Directions

  1. In a small saucepan cover the lentils with water, bring to a boil, and simmer for 12-15 minutes, or until very soft. Drain well and set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. In a medium bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, oil, and vanilla. Add to the dry ingredients along with the lentils, and whisk until well blended – do not worry about getting all the lumps out.
  3. Preheat your waffle iron and spray it with nonstick spray. Cook the batter 1/3 cup at a time, or according to the manufacturer’s directions, until golden and crisp. Serve warm.
