  • 1/2 tsp psyllium powder

Instructions

  1. Warm the waffle iron at the medium heat setting.

  2. Combine all the dry ingredients well. Add the egg. Then fold in the pearl sugar.

  3. Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, make one small waffles in a quadrant of your waffle iron.

  4. Cook on medium setting till crisped up and cooked through. Based on this first one, you will know if you need to raise or lower the heat for the remaining waffles. At first they may appear soft, but they will harden!

  5. Serve with any or all of the suggestions, allowing everyone to make their own.

Recipe Notes

Leftovers can be stored in a sealed bag or container in the fridge and warmed up in a toaster oven.  Let the sugars harden before serving.

I say it serves 1 but it may serve 2 depending on appetites.  The recipe makes 4 smallish waffles.
