  • 75 gSugar
  • 3 xEgg
  • 250 gFlour
  • 2 level teaspoonsBaking powder
  • 1 packetvanilla sugar
  • 200 mlMilk
  • Salt
  • Topping: Flambéed fruit
  • Choice of fruit, e.g. apples, pears, plums
  • High-proof alcohol (at least 40% ABV), e.g., cognac, whiskey, brandy with fruit liqueur

Instructions

  1. Step 1 of 7:

    First, cream the soft butter and the sugar together.

  2. Step 2 of 7:

    Gradually stir in the eggs.

  3. Step 3 of 7:

    Mix the flour, the baking powder and the vanilla sugar.

  4. Step 4 of 7:

    Stir the mixture into the batter, alternating with a little milk at a time.

  5. Step 5 of 7:

    Finally, refine with a pinch of salt.

  6. Step 6 of 7:

    Heat the waffle iron and grease it with oil.

  7. Step 7 of 7:

    The batter makes enough for eight waffles, which means adding two to three tablespoons to the hot iron for each waffle. Once the waffles are golden brown, they are ready.

  8. Fiery: Flambéed Fruit

     

    Flambéed fruit makes a real impression not only when it is time to Serve, but also during preparation. If there is enough space and everything flammable is out of reach, you can get started: Suitable options include pears poached in red wine, stewed plums or apple slices sautéed with spices in a little butter. To flambé, pour a small glass of high-proof alcohol (at least 40% vol.) over the fruit, light it with a long match and wait until the flame goes out. Well-suited types of alcohol include cognac, whiskey or fruit liqueur mixed with brandy.

  9. Berry Delight: Blueberry Compote

     

    Sweet blueberries are also a delicious waffle topping. Instead of fresh berries, this variation can also be wonderfully prepared with frozen blueberries or a berry mix. Simmered with water, sugar and a pinch of vanilla, a heavenly compote is quickly ready for the plate. If you like, garnish the waffles with freshly grated orange zest and mint.

  10. Chocolatey: Dark Chocolate and Fig Jam

     

    Chocolate fans love waffles because the honeycomb texture naturally holds onto plenty of it. Truly delicious: melted dark chocolate with at least 70% cocoa content and a dollop of fig jam. Chopped pistachios give the waffle recipe the finishing touch. A highlight not only in terms of colour!
