Makes 4

For the Waffles:
1½ cups plain flour
1 tablespoon ground flaxseed
2 tablespoons chia seeds
1 tablespoon poppy seeds
1 tablespoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon fine sea salt
1 egg
1½ cups buttermilk

To Serve:
2 avocados
2 ears of corn, grilled until slightly charred in places
4 fried eggs with runny yolks
Sea salt flakes and freshly ground back pepper
Chopped coriander leaves
Lime juice fot the avocados and some wedges to serve
Hot Sauce

Make the Waffles:
Preheat your waffle iron.

In a bowl, whisk together the flour, ground flaxseed, chia seeds, poppy seeds
baking powder, baking soda and salt.

In a separate bowl, whisk the egg and buttermilk together.

Add the wet mixture to the dry mixture and mix until just combined.

Scoop ¼ cup portions into the waffle iron.  Cook until golden brown and crisp.  Continue until all the batter is used.  You should get 4 generous waffles.

Put one waffle on four serving plates.

Take the flesh out of the avocados, mash them in a bowl with a squeeze of lime juice and some salt. Divide smashed avo and pile onto the waffles.

Cut the kernels of the cobs of corn and divide them among the plates.

Top each loaded waffle with a fried egg, season with salt and pepper and scatter with coriander leaves. Spritz with lime juice and sprinkle with hot sauce.
