Instructions and tips

• Leave dough and other waffle ingredients at room temperature for a short time before preparing waffles.
• Sifted flour will produce fluffier waffles.
• Separate egg yolks from whites. Add yolks to dough first. Whisk the whites, then delicately add the foam without further mixing. This will help make the waffles fluffier.
• Do not melt butter at overly high temperatures. Add to the dough after it has cooled slightly.
• Mineral water can be used instead of milk. This will reduce the amount of baking powder needed because of the carbon dioxide content of mineral water.
• Leave dough out for at least 30 min. before beginning to bake. Use all the dough at once, and do not store for longer periods of time.
• Nuts, raisins and other additives should be added to the dough at the very end.
• Waffles taste best when fresh from the waffle maker. They can be served with powdered sugar, honey, syrup, ice cream, etc.

• For crispy waffles, place them next to each other on a cooling grate. Stacking waffles may cause them to go soft.

• Finished, cooled waffles can be frozen. To prevent sticking, place baking paper between them, then freeze in bags or appropriate containers.

• Remove the waffles from the freezer and leave to defrost at room temperature. Heat them before serving in an oven at 100 °C. Place them in a container with a cover or wrap in aluminum foil to prevent them from drying out.

Recipe for crispy waffles (approx. 10 waffles)

500 g flour

300 g sugar

400 g butter

6 eggs

2 pack. vanilla sugar

12 tsp. baking powder or baking soda

pinch salt

Mix the flour, baking powder (or baking soda), salt, sugar and vanilla sugar in a bowl, then make a small hole in the middle of the mixture.

Melt the butter and mix with eggs. Then pour into the middle of the mixture and mix until the dough is smooth.

Leave the dough out for at least 30 minutes before cooking. Bake waffles at 200^ for around 1.5 - 2 minutes.
