Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 250 g de farine
- 1 sachet de levure chimique (baking powder)
- 60 g de sucre
- 1 sachet de sucre vanillé (vanilla sugar)
Wet Ingredients
- 3 œufs (eggs)
- 35 cl de lait (350 ml of milk)
- 70 g de beurre fondu (melted butter)
Instructions
- Prepare Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, sugar, and vanilla sugar, mixing them evenly to create a uniform base for the batter.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate container, whisk the eggs together with the milk until you have a smooth, homogeneous mixture.
- Make the Batter: Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients while stirring constantly to combine. Use an electric whisk if lumps appear to achieve a smooth batter.
- Add Melted Butter: Incorporate the melted butter into the batter and mix thoroughly to ensure it is well blended.
- Rest the Batter: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the batter for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight. This resting period helps develop better texture and flavor.
- Cook the Waffles: Once rested, preheat your waffle iron. Pour the batter onto the hot waffle iron and cook until the waffles are golden brown, with a crispy exterior and soft, fluffy interior.
Notes
- Resting the batter overnight enhances the texture, making the waffles even more tender and flavorful.
- If you don’t have vanilla sugar, you can substitute it with 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
- Waffles can be served with powdered sugar, fresh fruits, syrup, or whipped cream according to your preference.
- Ensure your waffle iron is well-heated before cooking to achieve the perfect crispness.
- For a lighter batter, you can substitute part of the milk with sparkling water, but this recipe works best as is.
