Waffles
Golden waffles sprinkled with powdered sugar or with a generous portion of whipped cream and fruits are, next to ice cream, the most summer-associated dessert. There is no holidays at the Polish seaside without eating a waffle from a street booth. That is why today I will share with you my recipe for homemade waffles. They can be prepared sweet, e.g. with jam, or savory, e.g. with egg.
I remind you of the most important rule when preparing waffles – do not open the waffle iron while baking! This will make the waffles soft instead of crispy.
The batter is prepared very simply, just like for pancakes. First, we beat the egg whites with sugar and add to the yolks, flour, baking powder, milk and sparkling water. Mix everything together and it’s ready.
To start baking, set the waffle maker to maximum power. Once it is hot, grease it with a thin layer of fat and put a portion of the batter on it. Then we close the waffle iron and wait about 4-5 minutes, without peeking. Every waffle maker is different, so keep in mind that we need to “feel out our waffle maker” first to know how long it takes to make perfectly baked waffles. You can do the first test round and look after about 4 minutes, even if the first waffles do not come out perfectly, the next ones will be perfect.
There are many benefits of making homemade waffles. Taking a waffle maker on vacation is a great idea to save some money, especially if you are going on holidays with kids 😉. Besides, homemade waffles are easy to make and they are not made from a ready-made mix where you don’t always know what’s in it.
