Ingredients

The following ingredients have 7 Servings
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 125 g unsalted butter (4.4 oz/ ½ cup, soft)
  • 75 g sugar (2.6 oz/ ¼ cup + 2 tablespoons )
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla sugar OR ½ teaspoon vanilla extract (Note 2)
  • 250 g all-purpose flour (8.8 oz/ 2 cups )
  • ¼ teaspoon baking powder
  • 250 ml milk (8.4 fl.oz/ 1 cup )
  • 125 ml mineral water (4.2 fl.oz/ ½ cup )
  • To serve:
  • cherry sauce
  • whipped cream

Instruction

  • Beat egg whites: Separate the eggs. Whisk egg white with a pinch of salt until stiff. Set aside.
  • Beat: Place the soft butter, sugar, vanilla sugar, or vanilla extract into another bowl, mix until creamy. Add the egg yolks and mix well until the sugar is dissolved.
  • Batter: In another bowl, sift together the flour and the baking powder. Start adding them to the butter mixture alternating with the milk. Start and finish with the flour.
  • Stir in the mineral water. Carefully fold in the stiff egg whites.
  • Bake the waffles according to the directions of your waffle maker. My waffles took about 6-7 minutes to become crisp and nicely browned on the outside while remaining soft and fluffy on the inside.
  • Temperature: My waffle maker also has different temperature settings and I prefer using a medium-high one, for instance, 4 or 5 out of 6 temperature settings. But that is a matter of personal taste; adjust the temperature setting accordingly.
  • Bake: Pour some batter into the waffle iron, regarding the instructions of the waffle maker again. Close the waffle maker and bake until the waffle is golden.
  • Time: Usually, the waffle makers will have a way of letting you know that the waffle is ready, either a (green) light or it will make some sound. But that depends on the waffle iron you are using.
  • Keep the waffles warm in the oven by 100 degrees Celsius/ 200 degrees Fahrenheit until you are finished with baking.
  • Serve the waffles warm with cherry sauce and whipped cream or as suggested above.
