Steps
- Melt the butter.
- In a large bowl, whisk the eggs until fluffy.
- Add the liquids.
- Add the dry ingredients.
- Mix, but don’t whisk, so that the gluten does not stretch. Just to be clear, this is the batter.
- Turn on the waffle iron.
- Let the batter rest for exactly the same amount of time as it takes for the waffle iron to heat up. Coincidental and convenient.
- Prepare some butter in a small bowl for the cooking. It might help if the butter is partially or fully melted.
- Cook the waffles. Before each waffle, brush the waffle iron with butter using a pastry brush. Do this no matter what the waffle iron manufacturer says.
- Place the finished waffles on a cooling rack for about a minute, so that steam can escape and the waffle stays crispy.
- Serve with toppings of choice, e.g.
- Whipped cream
- Suryp
- Jam
- Ice cream
- Powedered sugar
- Regular sugar
- Berries
- Hazelnut-chocolate spread of an unnamed brand
Leftover management
Store leftover waffles wrapped in butter paper, with a sheet of butter paper between each waffle. Reheat in a frying pan on low heat.
