Sam Hardacre one of The Marketing Lab's array of Geek Brains, brought this rather clever idea to my attention and also provided the picture, thanks Sam.

It does not require a Waffle maker and can made with a normal stove-top griddle pan.

2 free range eggs
300 ml buttermilk or semi-skimmed milk
See this buttermilk link for how to make your own buttermilk from regular milk
225 g (8 oz) self-raising flour
¼ teaspoons table salt
100g butter , softened in the microwave for a few seconds
1tsp extra butter for cooking
Optional for sweet waffles:
½ tsp. vanilla extract
1 tablespoon sugar

Mise en place

Pre heat the oven to 160° C (325° F - gas 3) if you are making lots so they can be kept warm
Get the griddle pan nice and hot before hand as some cast iron pans can take a while to get hot.

Method

Whisk the milk and eggs in a large bowl
Using a fine sieve, sift the flour, salt and baking powder into the egg-mix.
Fold the softened butter into the mixture. Mix this just enough to combine the ingredients. Jamie Oliver advises not to over-mix at this stage or the waffles will not puff up.
Add the extra teaspoons of butter to the pan and brush or swill to coat evenly.
Immediately pour the mixture into the pan over a medium heat and carefully tip it to spread and cover the whole of the pan as you would with a pancake
Cook for 8 to 10 minutes on this side, or until golden, then then flip the waffle and cook for another 8 to 10 minutes on this side
If you are making lots then keep them warm in the oven, but don't stack them of they will sweat
