Belgian (german) Waffles

                  Belgian (german) Waffles

I know in the United States these are called Belgian Waffles. We do them in Germany too but we ain't call them "Belgian" lol. Well, anyway, this is how we do it

This is what you need:

- 100 gr of soft unsalted Butter (or Oil)

- 50 gr Sugar

- 7 gr. Vanilla sugar (or a bit Vanilla extract)

- 3 Eggs

- Lemon extract or the zest of a Lemon. You can even use the zest of an Orange

- pinch of Salt

- 200 gr Flour

- 1 TSP Backing Powder

- 125 ml Milk

This is how you do it:

Add everything but the flour, Baking powder and milk to a bowl and whisk it until its foaming and turn pale yellow. Now alternate the flour and milk to the dough (meaning a bit flour, then milk, then flour, then milk) 

Heat up your waffle maker and spray it with oil. Now add 1-2 ladle of the dough into the center of the waffle maker and spread it a bit to the side. Close and let it bake for around 1 min.. When nicely browned, take it out and add some powdered sugar. Repeat until the dough is gone.

Enjoy and Guten Appetit
