- Why does the waffle break when rolling?
- You overcooked it (it dried out) or let it cool down. The waffle must be steaming and soft to roll.
Breakfast waffle burrito
What happens when Sunday breakfast meets Tex-Mex practicality? The waffle burrito. Here the waffle functions not as a crispy dessert, but as a soft, pliable 'tortilla'. The secret is not to overcook the waffle so it stays flexible, and to roll it immediately while the steam keeps it soft.

Instructions
1
✓
Mix the dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, salt, sugar). In another bowl mix the milk, 2 eggs and melted butter.
Tip: Sugar is not here for sweetness, but to promote caramelisation (nice brown colour).
2
✓
Pour the liquid into the flour and mix until lump-free. Bake soft waffles from it. Don't bake them crisp! Stack them on a plate and cover with a tea towel.
Tip: Under the cover, the waffles soften in their own steam, so they remain pliable.
3
✓
Meanwhile fry the bacon until crispy, then make soft scrambled eggs from the 4 eggs in the remaining fat.
Tip: Take the scrambled eggs off the heat while still slightly runny, because they will continue to 'cook' in the hot waffle.
4
✓
Assemble the burrito: pile the scrambled eggs, bacon, cheese, sliced avocado and tomato onto the waffle. Top with soured cream and coriander.
5
✓
Roll up carefully. Secure with a toothpick if necessary.
Tip: If the waffle still breaks, put it in the microwave for 10 seconds to soften up again.
