Waffle recipe: Delicious pastry with little effort
Belgian waffles, crispy waffles, or herb and bacon waffles - we just love all kinds of delicious pastries! Baked very fresh and served with powdered sugar, we just can't get enough of them! The smell alone makes our mouths water ...
A whole day for waffles
As a result, we think eating as many waffles as you want all day sounds really fantastic. That's why we're excited to continue a Swedish tradition and celebrate Waffle Day on March 25. Because of their slurred pronunciation, the Swedes have a whole day dedicated to waffles. After all, March 25 is the Christian feast day of the Annunciation, which is known in Swedish as "Vrfrudagen" (which sounds like "Vffeldagen").
The Swedes, on the other hand, are unconcerned with this misunderstanding: they celebrate "Vffeldagen" anywhere the pastry is available, including cafés, restaurants, and homes. Waffle irons are blazing hot, and mountains of waffles are consumed, generally with jam and whipped cream. It's simple to join in the fun with our basic waffle batter recipe.
Preparation:
- Beat butter, sugar, and salt with the beaters of a hand mixer until creamy.
- Add eggs, lemon zest, flour, cornstarch, and baking powder and mix until smooth.
- Grease the waffle iron and then bake waffles in batches.
- The secret of our waffles: they contain a lot of butter and therefore remain nice and soft even after cooling. If you prefer fluffy, crispy waffles, try the basic recipe from blogger Rike.
