This is how I prepare, decorate and dress my waffles!
Waffle Ingredients:75g butter, cut into pieces
380g milk
2 eggs (60-65g each)
1 bag of vanillin sugar or 1 tsp vanilla extract
250g flour
15g baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
A pinch of salt
50g sugar
Top:- Nutella
If you wish, you can use
Nutella or
Gianduia "Chocolate and Hazelnut Spread" which you can prepare with your Thermomix.
- Fruit slices due to your preference.
I often use banana, strawberry and kiwi.
- Ice cream
I often use creamy or vanilla ice cream.
- Chocolate sauce
Instead of a market bought product, you can use the
Chocolate Sauce that you prepare with your Thermomix.
Preparation: Oil and preheat your waffle maker.
Melt butter for 2 minutes at 90ºC on Speed 1.
Add milk, eggs and vanilla. Mix for 10 seconds on Speed 4.
Sift in flour, baking powder and baking soda in a separate bowl and mix. Transfer the mixture in TM Bowl, add salt and sugar. Mix for 10 seconds on Speed 3-4.
Depending on the size of your waffle iron, pour 1/2 or 1 cup (or ladle) of batter onto bottom plate, close the lid and cook. Cooking time may vary depending on the waffle maker. With mine it takes around 12 minutes.
Serve your waffles as you wish.
If you want to prepare waffles just like mine, spread some nutella first.
Place fruit slices over nutella.
Place a ball of ice cream over the fruits.
Dress with chocolate sauce on the top.
Enjoy...
Notes: 1. It is important to serve them warm. So make ready all the other ingredients before the waffles are cooked. When the waffle is cooked decorate asap and serve warm.
2. It will help you a great deal if you prepare and freeze them in advance. As I previously said, it takes around 12 minutes to prepare 2 waffles with my toaster. This might be time consuming and annoying when you have some guests around. That's why I usually cook and freeze them in advance. This way I always have some waffles ready in the freezer.
Bake the waffles, let them cool on the racks.
Place them in freezer bags and put in the freezer.
Whenever you need, warm them for 11-13 minutes in preheated oven at 180ºC. (You don't need to defrost them)
