'World's MOST DANGEROUS Knot!' ..or the most USEFUL

Let's get working on the batter first , we're gonna mix all the dry ingredients .

So I have three cups of whole wheat flour .

I love this recipe because it's a great way to get whole grains in for breakfast .

The whole wheat flour adds a nice texture .

A really nice nutty sort of chew .

Ok .

So we've got three cups of whole wheat flour .

Hit the lavender here .

Two teaspoons of baking powder .

One teaspoon of coarse salt .

Just want to make sure everything is nicely balanced with the flavor between the savory and the sweet .

Give this a good whisk .

It's really important here to whisk this thoroughly .

That way , the lavender , the salt , everything is combined right now on to the wet ingredients .

Got four eggs .

Give the waffle really , really nice tender texture and it definitely helps if you start with room temperature eggs .

When you're baking again , this just helps everything combine a little bit easier .

So give us a light whisk .

Good test to see if your yolk and your white are thoroughly combined is to do a little ribbon test like this .

It's exactly what you want to see .

Nice even smooth egg .

Perfect to this .

Add 3.5 cups of whole milk .

And again , if you can remember to get the milk out as you're starting to prepare everything , everything mixes so nicely if it's at room temperature .

All right .

So a lot of waffle recipes use butter .

I'm gonna use olive oil here .

It's half a cup of olive oil and the olive oil flavor .

It comes through just slightly , it adds sort of this nice fruity component .

But you get all the wonderful health benefits of using a mono saturated fat and you don't have to melt it like you have to melt butter .

So it makes it one step easier .

Now for flavor , two teaspoons of vanilla extract , you heard me right .

Two teaspoons not skimping on vanilla .

I like vanilla extract .

You could also use almond extract if you're into that , just use slightly less almond extract because it has a ton of flavor .

I would start with about a quarter teaspoon of myself to that .

Add a quarter cup of sugar just using granulated there .

Then half a teaspoon of baking soda .

The reason I'm adding this in with my wet ingredients is that it helps activate the lavender .

This looks nice and smooth .

We will add this to the dry and then very , very delicately combine these two together .

You don't want to overwork the gluten in the flour that would result in kind of tough waffles .

So similar to pancakes , you're looking for the dry ingredients coated evenly .

You can have some small lumps but nice .

Gentle hand is the key here .

OK .

Batter is looking great .

I've got just a few lumps in there , but it's mostly smooth .

All right .

Super important to preheat your waffle iron .

This is what's gonna give you that really nice crispy crust with a nice delicate interior .

Give it a quick spritz with non stick cooking spray and then depending on your manufacturer's instructions , you may need half a cup .

You may need one cup of batter .

I know for this one , I need two ladle fulls , which is about one cup into the hot iron .

It goes , that's the sound you want to hear .

You definitely want to hear a little sizzle sizzle .

Ok .

Close this up .

This will cook for about six minutes .

So set a timer .

Let it do its thing .

Sneak peek .

Looks beautiful .

Oh my goodness .

What a gorgeous golden brown waffle .

So to remove , I like to use a fork .

I feel like it sort of fits in the grooves a little bit easier and off we go beautiful and you can hear the nice little crisp crust .

So we've got our wonderful , wonderful waffle here .

Let's put on all the fixings the best part .

So I like to use Greek yogurt .

Greek yogurt .

Not only adds a nice sort of rich creamy tanginess .
