Belgium homemade waffel
>> Sunday, April 19, 2009

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 :
- 1/2 cup warmed water
- Sugar - 2 tsp
- Dry yeast - 1 packet
- 2 1/2 cup flour
- 1/4 cup sugar
- Warmed milk - 2 cups
- Butter - 1/2 cup
- Vanilla - 1 tsp ( or rum - 1 tsp)
- Cinnamon - 1/2 tsp
- Egg - 2 nos
- 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.
