Step-by-step cooking

Cooking time: 1 h 20 min
  1. Step 1:

    Step 1.

    Prepare the products. All should be at room temperature. Choose natural butter, high-quality at least 72% fat content.

  2. Step 2:

    Step 2.

    Divide eggs into yolks and whites. Put the proteins in the refrigerator, and add sugar to the yolks and grind, if the mass is thick - add 2st.l. of milk from the total volume.

  3. Step 3:

    Step 3.

    Add vanilla sugar, soft butter, grind. It is more convenient with a silicone spatula.

  4. Step 4:

    Step 4.

    Pour in milk at room temperature or lukewarm, stir well.

  5. Step 5:

    Step 5.

    Mix the sifted flour with baking powder, pour in all the flour and knead the dough / it is not very thick, but not liquid, if necessary, add a small amount of sifted flour /.

  6. Step 6:

    Step 6.

    Add a pinch of salt to the cooled proteins and beat to a strong foam. At first, at low speeds, as the mass begins to turn white, the power will gradually increase. It's 5-6 minutes.

  7. Step 7:

    Step 7.

    Gently stir in the proteins. It is best to do this with a spatula, with smooth movements (it is important that the proteins do not settle).

  8. Step 8:

    Step 8.

    The finished dough is tender, creamy, like a sponge cake. It flows freely.

  9. Step 9:

    Step 9.

    Preheat the waffle iron. I have a multi-pharmacist, the green light is on - ready to work.

  10. Step 10:

    Step 10.

    Pour about 3 tablespoons of dough on each cell, carefully distribute in the corners. Carefully close and snap the lid. I do not lubricate the panels, because the coating is non-stick and there is enough oil in the dough. The amount of dough may vary, depending on the size and shape of the cells. I'm giving a guideline for the REDMOND multi-baker.

  11. Step 11:

    Step 11.

    Bake until golden brown. Since all the appliances are different, even if the same manufacturer, the baking time is very conditional, I have it 10-11 minutes. Professional waffle makers bake in 2 minutes, homemade from 5-7 minutes.

  12. Step 12:

    Step 12.

    Remove the finished waffles with a silicone spatula and let them cool on the grill, so after cooling they will become crispy on the outside and remain soft inside. I get 12 waffles, size 9 x 10 cm.

  13. Step 13:

    Step 13.

    That's how they are in the section - porous, airy, soft. The outside will immediately be crispy, then they will become soft, even if you do not put a stack. There is nothing in common with the taste of thin crispy waffles, the taste of these waffles reminds me more of a sponge cake and even remotely. It's difficult to describe, it's better to try!

Belgian soft waffles are usually served with a sweet addition, it can be maple or other jam syrup, powdered sugar, honey, jam, hot chocolate, whipped cream or sour cream, condensed milk, a ball of ice cream.. They are usually decorated with a berry and a mint leaf. But this is a completely self-sufficient dessert that will be delicious in its pure form, at your discretion.

The heating temperature for each waffle iron model is individual. Therefore, the exact cooking time for your appliance can only be determined experimentally. It is quite possible that 30 seconds will be enough for you, but it is possible that it will take 2-3 minutes to bake. Adjust the baking time specified in the recipe, taking into account the characteristics of your waffle iron.

Be prepared for the fact that flour may need more or less than specified in the recipe. Focus not on the amount of flour, but on the desired consistency of the dough. To avoid mistakes, read about flour and its properties!
