July 2020 :<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>After many attempts at making the best Waffles in the world, I have settled on my &#8220;Mum&#8217;s&#8221; recipe&#8230;.not a surprise really as it brings so many memories in my mind. These a light and crispy, exactly as I prefer them.<\/p>\n<p>A picture of the recipe is below but I tend to make a smaller batch at week-ends and for reference wanted to provide the quantities of the ingredients on my blog.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Ingredients:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>3 eggs yokes<\/li>\n<li>3 egg whites, hard peaks. (3 to 4 minutes high speed)<\/li>\n<li>250g Flour. I use the Canadian Strong white flour<\/li>\n<li>100g Melted Butter (1-minute microwave but with a cover to avoid splashes!)<\/li>\n<li>375ml warm Milk (1minute in the microwave)<\/li>\n<li>6g of dry yeast diluted in a bit of warm water<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Mix all ingredients until smooth mixture, add the milk slowly so that you do not make lumps in the dough,\u00a0 leave the mixture to rise for at least one hour.<\/p>\n<p>Voila, the best Waffles ever!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Below is the quick version which does not require a rise period.<\/p>\n<p>However, there is salvation for a quick substitute version for when you simply do not care of having the true recipe and simply want Waffles quickly!<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Ingredients (probably 12 waffles):<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>6 eggs<\/li>\n<li>500g Flour<\/li>\n<li>100g <a href=\"https:\/\/www.maizena.fr\/\">Maizena<\/a> (Corn Flour)<\/li>\n<li>200g Butter<\/li>\n<li>500ml Milk<\/li>\n<li>400ml \/ 500ml Cold Water (depending on how light you want the waffles)<\/li>\n<li>4 packs of Vanilla Sugar<\/li>\n<li>2 packs of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.alsa.fr\/nos-produits\/levure-chimique-alsacienne\/\">Levure Chimique<\/a> (Baking Powder)<\/li>\n<li>2 pinches of Salt<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>How to Make :<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Melt all the butter in a pan and let boil for a few minutes. (Get a blonde butter but not brown)<\/p>\n<p>Put all the dry ingredients in a large bowl. Make a well in the middle.<\/p>\n<p>Incorporate the milk and water into the dry ingredients by mixing with a fork.<\/p>\n<p>Beat all the eggs in a separate bowl. Then incorporate into the above mixture.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, add the melted butter into the mixture. Make sure the butter is not too hot so that it does not cook the eggs.<\/p>\n<p>Voila! The mixture is ready to be used with your waffle maker.<\/p>\n<p>Have been experimenting with this recipe and more water makes the waffles more crispy and light. I want to try with fewer eggs and also try with more sugar or cassonade sugar.
