Brusselse Wafel / Waffle for 21st of July

Hi guys!

“Uhm, Sarah…? It’s not yet Friday you know.”
“Oh I know!”
“Then why is there a new blogpost today?”
“Because it’s our National Holiday today!”

I simply cannot post my recipe for our National Holiday the day after, right? 😀

Last year, I made a Flag Cake. This year, I’ve kept it simple and it’s a real classic! The Muscles Waffle from Brussels! But with a little twist 😉

 

You can go big and crazy on you National Holiday or you can honor the classics your country has to offer. Which is what I chose to do this year. Now what could be a better choice than our world famous Waffles from Brussels? None, let me tell you that.
Yes, I could have made insanely good French (WTF?!) Fries but that’s not exactly a dessert. Beer isn’t either. 😉

What we need for 6 servings:

• 1/2 bag of yeast (I used the one from Dr. Oetker)
• 2 dl water (room temperature)
• 3 egg yolks
• 3 egg whites
• 1 bag vanilla sugar (I used the one from Dr. Oetker)
• 250 g flour
• 2 dl room temperature milk
• 100 g melted butter
• strawberries
• whipped cream
• waffle iron

How to:

1. Dissolve the yeast in the water.
2. Whip up the egg whites and set aside in a bowl.
3. Mix together flour and milk.
4. Add the melted butter and mix until smooth. (It’s okay if it doesn’t really becomes that smooth yet)
5. Add the egg yolks. Mix until the batter really becomes smooth.
6. Add the yeast-water mixture and mix again until smooth.
7. Gently stir in the egg whites using a spatula.
8. Cover the batter and leave it somewhere warm (shouldn’t be a problem today) for 30 minutes.
9. Turn on the waffle iron and bake those waffles!
10. Whip up the cream and cut some strawberries.
11. Place 1 waffle on a plate.
12. Add some whipped cream and strawberry pieces.
13. Place another waffle on top and do the same.
14. Repeat this until all waffles have been used and you have 6 nice 2-tiers waffles.

Happy National Holiday Belgium!

 

Have a delicious day ❤
