NOTES
1. - Vanilla
Vanilla extract is used in this recipe. You can easily get this in the supermarket, but you can also easily make your own vanilla extract. The latter is, especially if you bake regularly, much cheaper.
If you don't have vanilla extract, you can also replace it with ⅓ oz. (8 grams) of vanilla sugar.
2. Baking powder
This recipe is, as described, without yeast. But how do you get a light waffle? By adding a generous amount (1 tablespoon) of baking powder to the batter. Due to the moisture in the batter, air bubbles are formed during baking. And they ensure that the waffle is airy, crispy on the outside, and soft on the inside.
Self-raising flour contains about half of the baking powder that is added to this batter. If you use that, add a teaspoon of extra baking powder. You cannot replace it with baking soda. Although this is often used to make a batter or dough airy, it is not suitable for this batter because it needs an acidic ingredient to form air bubbles.
3. - How much batter
That depends on your waffle machine. It is often in the description. If you are not sure, iron the waffle the first time so that it is well filled. That way you know roughly what you will need. After that, you don't have to spread the batter anymore. By closing the device, the batter flows between the holes.
4. - How long to bake
My waffle iron took 7 minutes to get the waffle a nice golden brown, but every device is different. Normally it will be between five and eight minutes. Checking a few times the first time will give you a good clue.
5. - Sandwich maker
Don't have a waffle iron, but do have a sandwich maker? That also works. Yes, you don't have those pretty checks, but you do have a delicious waffle. Bake until golden brown.
6. - Nice with it
These waffles have a fairly neutral taste and therefore you can go in all directions with them. Serve them with powdered sugar, pancake syrup, maple syrup, or with fresh fruit (and whipped cream or crème fraîche). Delicious!
7. - Storage
- Storing the batter - The batter cannot be kept due to the addition of baking powder. Bake the waffles and then save them!
- Room temperature - Store them in an airtight container or plastic wrap. They keep well at room temperature for up to two days.
- Refrigeration - Because it is more humid in the refrigerator, the structure of the waffles changes and this is not tasty. So don't keep them in the fridge.
- Freezer - Pack the waffles airtight in a freezer box or bag. This way they stay good for up to 2 months. Let them thaw at room temperature.
