Preparation method

2. In another bowl, cream the butter and peanut butter together until very smooth.

   Technique: Creaming butter by hand

3. Beat the eggs and milk together in a jug.

4. Beat the egg mixture into the butter mixture, then add this to the bowl with the dry mixture and mix until smooth.

5. Lightly oil and heat a waffle iron. Pour some of the mixture into the waffle iron and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until golden-brown and cooked through. Set aside to a plate and keep warm. Repeat with the remaining mixture to make five more waffles.

6. For the poached eggs, heat a pan of boiling water and add a tablespoon of fish sauce. Crack the eggs carefully into the water and poach until the whites are firm but the yolks are still runny.

7. To serve, place a waffle onto each of six serving plates. Top with a poached egg, a slice of pancetta and some hot chilli sauce.
