Ingredients
Waffles:
- 500 ml milk
- 100 g butter
- 2 eggs
- 25 g fresh yeast (or 7 g dry yeast)
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 300 g (2 cups) all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- a pinch of salt
Toppings:
- Fruit jam or fruit marmalade
- 300 ml very cold heavy cream (36% or 30% fat)
- Fresh berries such as strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, raspberries
Preparation
In a medium-sized saucepan (at least 3 liters), warm the milk over low heat until just lukewarm. Remove from heat, add the butter cut into pieces, and wait a moment until it starts to melt.
Into the milk and butter mixture, crack the eggs, crumble (or sprinkle) in the yeast, add sugar, and mix with a hand mixer until ingredients are combined.
Add flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt to the saucepan, then mix everything thoroughly until you get a smooth batter. Cover the saucepan and let it sit for about 1 and 1/2 hours until the batter has increased in volume.
Spoon the risen batter onto a preheated waffle iron. Cook the waffles until golden brown.
Serve the waffles with fruit jam, whipped cream, and fresh berries.
