| Waffles |
I have a yeast-based waffle recipe in my archives that dates back to 2010. It's pretty classic except that it requires quite a bit of sitting time and there are days when I may be in a bit of a hurry. That's when a baking powder-based waffle recipe comes in handy, especially on this day when, in exchange for a few stingy kisses from my hormone-fired female teenager, I had to prepare a round of waffles for breakfast.
I also used a different iron for these waffles, giving them deeper indents which allow them to collect more sugar, honey or maple syrup.
Waffles (makes 8-10) :
300g all-purpose flour
4 tsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
2 tsp sugar
2 eggs beaten
125g butter (unsalted or salted, melted)
400ml milk
1 tsp pure vanilla extract or
1 tbsp orange blossom water/grand marnier/rum (optional)
Mix the dry ingredients together. Make a well in the middle and beat in the eggs.
Stir in the milk and mix well to get a smooth batter.
Stir in the melted butter and extra flavouring if you choose to use it.
Let the batter sit for at least 20 minutes.
Heat up your waffle iron and butter it. Pour in the batter and cook. Hub likes his waffles not too cooked while I like mine very cooked, so basically adjust the cooking time according to your taste.
The waffles are light and fluffy, though with this recipe, in terms of quantity, I can't really feed my always-hungry family of 5. I had to double the quantity in order to give everyone at least 3 waffles each.
Serve with maple syrup, icing sugar, honey, jam, ice cream, whipped cream or enjoy them plain!

Nice to see you back. I live in Switzerland, have led the same sort of life you have. Exécutive husband, expats some times. Love your italian experience which we had as well in Rome.
I like you and enjoy your blog. Please don t stop again.
Thanks for visiting, wouldn't mind living in Switzerland myself, but no opportunity from the look of things. Rome would certainly have been more exciting than Modena!
