Instructions

Poppy seeds

Cover the poppy seeds with boiling water and leave for 15–20 minutes — they soften and become fragrant.

Drain. Blend them briefly if you like.

Batter

Blend the cottage cheese until smooth — this matters, otherwise the waffles come out grainy.

Mix the eggs, milk, melted butter, sugar, lemon juice and zest.

Add the flour, baking powder, salt and poppy seeds. Stir — the batter should be like thick sour cream.

Cooking

Heat the waffle iron and grease it lightly if needed. Cook for 4–6 minutes until golden.

Move to a rack and cool.

Freezing and reheating

Freeze for up to 2–3 months

Cool completely. Freeze in a single layer, then transfer to a bag, container or vacuum pack.

Reheating

Toaster, oven or air fryer — they come back crisp outside and soft inside.
