Mix sifted flour, baking powder, salt and baking soda in a large bowl. Add the eggs, buttermilk and butter then mix well (you can just use a wooden spoon or big whisk for this). Grease the jaffle irons with some butter, then place over moderate coals. Once they’re hot, ladle waffle batter onto the jaffle irons, close them up and wait for the waffles to be crisp, golden and cooked through. (You’ll need to turn them over a couple of times.) Take them out the jaffles, keep warm on the side and repeat until you’ve used up all the batter.
Serve with chocolate sauce, ice cream and berries (or whatever tickles your fancy) and definitely some really good coffee to wash it all down.
