Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 500 gram self-raising flour
  • 250 gram butter + more for greasing
  • 250 gram sugar + 2 tablespoons extra
  • 4 eggs
  • a teaspoon of vanilla extract or vanilla sugar
  • about 200 ml of milk
  • 1 can or jar of cherries on syrup or water
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • optional: a handful of almond shavings

Instruction

  • You will need the following cooking equipment:: stand mixer with a whisk attachment or hand mixer, small saucepan, waffle-iron, small bowl + fork, Cooling rack (optional), Piping bag (optional)
  • Tip: you can choose how much milk you're going to add. The more milk you add, the fluffier the waffles will be. The batter should be a bit runny for soft, but firm, waffles. If you like them to be a bit harder, make sure the batter is slightly firmer.
  • MELT the butter in a small saucepan. MIX the flour, sugar and vanilla in a bowl. POUR in the melted butter and keep on mixing. One at a time, mix in the eggs until the mixture is smooth. Waffles and warm cherries
  • HEAT your waffle-iron and grease it with a bit of butter. Make sure both sides are greased, otherwise the waffle batter will stick to the iron and that's no fun cleaning.
  • You can pour in the batter using a spoon or whatever you like. We think the easiest way is to use a piping bag without a nozzle. Don't pour too much batter in the waffle-iron, cause when you close the iron, the batter that won't fit will just run out.
  • And that's no fun cleaning either! When they're nice and evenly browned, remove them from the iron and set them to cool down on a cooling rack. Repeat the waffle making process until all of the waffle batter is gone. HEAT the cherries on medium heat along with 2 tablespoons of sugar.
  • COMBINE 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 1 tablespoon of water and add to the warm cherries. Let them cook for 2 minutes, you'll notice it will thicken.
  • SERVE with the waffles and finish them off with almonds shavings if you like. Enjoy!
