Belgium homemade waffel

I remember my first time I tasted this awesome waffel in THE WAFFEL HOUSE couple of yrs back, which melted like a butter along with some fruit toppings & maple syrup. Fortunately, my first attempt was a hit.

I like to serve this with a spoon of butter & maple syrup as the toppings. We can also use fresh fruits or whipping cream or even the honey as the toppings. Kids will love this. I prefer making this for the weekend breakfast, so that I can enjoy & feel the real taste of this :)

Addition of cinnamon will enhance the flavour & occasionally I prefer a tsp of rum instead of vanilla essence. Taste little different.

Ingredients :

1. 1/2 cup warmed water
2. Sugar - 2 tsp
3. Dry yeast - 1 packet
4. 2 1/2 cup flour
5. 1/4 cup sugar
6. Warmed milk - 2 cups
7. Butter - 1/2 cup
8. Vanilla - 1 tsp ( or rum - 1 tsp)
9. Cinnamon - 1/2 tsp
10. Egg - 2 nos
11. Salt - 1/8 tsp

Directions to bake :

# Mix the sugar (2 tsp) & 1/2 cup of warmed water. Add the yeast and stir until dissolved. Let the mixture stand for 10 min.

# Now add the rest of the ingredients, except the egg white. The batter should be smooth without any lumps. (Mix them with an electric mixer). Cover & rest the batter for atleast 1/2 hr.

# Beat the egg whites light & fluffy. Fold them carefully into the batter.

# Heat the waffel iron & pour the batter. Bake for 4 min or until golden brown in color.

Serve them hot with butter & with ur desired toppings.
