Time 20m

Yield Four to 14 waffles, depending on the size of the waffle iron

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 3/4 cups milk
Salt to taste, if desired
1/4 cup melted butter
1 1/2 cups flour
6 eggs, lightly beaten
1 cup heavy cream

Steps:

  • Heat one cup of the milk in a saucepan, and add the salt and butter. Bring to the simmer. Remove from the heat.
  • Add the flour immediately, beating constantly with a wire whisk.
  • Return the mixture to the heat, stirring constantly until mixture comes away from the sides of the bowl. Pour the mixture into the bowl of an electric mixer and start beating on low speed. Add two eggs at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in the remaining milk and the cream. This will produce a thin, lumpy batter.
  • Add the mixture, an appropriate amount at a time, to the surface of an electric waffle iron. The volume will depend on the size of the iron. Cover and cook according to the manufacturer's instructions.

GAUFRES (AUTHENTIC BELGIAN WAFFLES)



Gaufres (Authentic Belgian Waffles) image

A recipe so authentic that I had to convert from grams and translate from French! These waffles are rich and delicious (don't bother with syrup!), and the basic recipe is from a Belgian friend of mine.

Time 20m

Yield 12 waffles

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 eggs, separated
1 cup granulated sugar, plus
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
4 cups all-purpose flour, plus
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup butter, melted,plus
2 tablespoons butter, melted

Steps:

  • Separate the 4 eggs, adding the yolks to the sugar and setting the whites aside for later use.
  • Add the flour and butter to the yolk and sugar mixture, first by stirring and then by working the mixture into a uniform dough with your hands.
  • Beat the egg whites until they are fluffy: when you lift the beater from the whites, soft peaks should form and then fall back, not holding much shape.
  • Crumble the dough and drop the pieces into the egg whites.
  • Stir by mashing the pieces of dough into the whites with a spoon, then stirring until a uniform consistency is achieved.
  • Heat up a waffle iron.
  • When it is hot (but not too hot), drop the batter onto the iron in the desired serving size.
  • I usually get about 12 waffles roughly 4-5 inches in diameter from this recipe.
