Gaufre Belgian Waffles Recipe
Gaufre, also known as Belgian waffles, is a popular European pastry made from a batter of flour and yeast, which is then baked in plates with various textures.
Ingredients
- All-purpose flour – 2 cups
- Instant yeast
- Warm milk – 1 1/2 cups
- Baking powder – 4 tsp
- White sugar – 2 tbsp
- Eggs – 4
- Butter (melted) – 1/2 cup
- Vanilla essence – 1 tsp
- Whipped cream – 1 cup
- Salt – to taste
Instructions
- Take a medium sized bowl and nd add flour, milk and yeast. Set aside until the mixture rises. This may take around 90 mins.
- After 90 mins, add salt, sugar, vanilla essence, 2 egg yolks (leave the whites for later use) and 2 whole eggs. Gently beat all the ingredients with a beater at a low speed. Add in the butter and mix gently.
- Now beat the remaining whites of the 2 eggs gently until soft peaks are formed.
- Add the egg whites and whipped cream into the batter and fold it with light hands. Set aside until the batter rises and its volume doubles. This may take around 2 hours.
- Meanwhile, preheat the waffle iron at a desired temperature.
- Once the batter is doubled, pour it in the preheated waffle iron. Cook the waffles at 191 degrees for around 4 mins until they turn golden and crispy.
- Dust the waffles with fine sugar and serve them with fruits and whipped cream to make them more delightful.
