Traditional waffle recipe
To make perfect waffles, you’ll need a few key ingredients: flour, eggs, sugar, melted butter, and milk. Adding yeast and a pinch of salt helps improve the texture and taste.
Follow these simple steps to prepare your waffle batter:
- Mix the flour with yeast and sugar.
- Add the egg yolks and milk, stirring continuously.
- Incorporate the melted butter.
- Beat the egg whites until stiff, then gently fold them into the batter.
For best results, let the batter rest for a few hours before pouring it into a waffle iron or mold.
Which beer to use in waffles?
Many chefs and specialist cooking websites recommend adding beer to waffle batter to enhance both flavor and texture. The key is to use the right amount—around 25 cl of beer for ten waffles—to maintain the perfect consistency, ensuring the batter is neither too thick nor too runny.
While lager is commonly used in waffle recipes for its lightness, stout is a fantastic alternative if you want a richer, maltier taste.
