Ingredients

• Waffles:
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
• salt, a pinch
• 1 tablespoon madras curry
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 1/4 cup chicken broth
• 1 large egg
• 5 tablespoons golden raisins, chopped (or currants)
• 2 tablespoons walnuts or 2 tablespoons pecans, chopped
• Chutney Mayonnaise:
• 1/4 cup Major Grey chutney
• 1/2 cup mayonnaise
• salt
• fresh ground black pepper
• Filling:
• 4 leaves iceberg lettuce or 4 leaves romaine lettuce
• 8 thin slices ripe tomatoes
• 6 slices white meat turkey
• 6 slices cooked drained bacon

Directions

1. Make the Chutney-Mayonnaise-you can use the chutney straight from the jar, but it spreads easier if it is chopped in a blender or food processor; combine the chutney and mayonnaise; season to taste with salt and pepper.

2. Can be made up to 2 weeks ahead, kept tightly covered in the refrigerator.

3. Assemble the filling ingredients before you start making the waffles.

4. Make the waffles-preheat waffle iron.

5. Melt butter and set aside.

6. In a bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and curry powder together.

7. In another bowl, beat the buttermilk, broth, and egg together until well blended.

8. Pour liquid ingredients over the dry ingredients; whisk to combine.

9. Stir in raisins and nuts, then melted butter.

10. Lightly butter or spray waffle iron; spoon out ½ cup batter onto the grids.

11. Spread the batter evenly over the grids with a wooden spoon.

12. Close the lid and bake until golden and lightly crisped.

13. Assemble the sandwiches-working with 2 waffles at a time, build sandwich by placing a lettuce leaf on the less pretty side of a waffle.

14. Spread the lettuce with Chutney Mayonnaise, then arrange 4 slices of tomato on the lettuce, 3 slices of turkey, and 3 slices of bacon, and spread with more Chutney Mayonnaise.

15. Cover with another lettuce leaf and top with the second waffle, pretty side up.

16. Make another sandwich the same way.

17. To serve-cut into quarters and stick frill-topped toothpicks in to hold together.
