Waffle
Lightly sweet waffles suitable for breakfast or brunch, with topping options ranging from fruit to chocolate or syrup.
Servings: 3
Ingredients:
Waffle batter
- 2 cups flour
- 2 tsp baking powder, 1 packet
- 2 tbsp butter, melted
- ¼ cup cane sugar
- 4 egg yolks
- 1 cup milk
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Chocolate ganache
- ⅓ cup heavy cream
- 3 oz chocolate, semi-sweet or dark chocolate (60-70% cacao)
Topping
- 1 banana, sliced
- 10 strawberries, sliced
Method:
Start Cooking- Preheat the waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks, milk, melted butter, and vanilla until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix just until combined. Do not overmix.
- Lightly grease the waffle iron with butter. Pour the batter into the hot waffle iron using a ladle and cook until golden and crisp, according to your waffle maker. Repeat with remaining batter.
Chocolate Ganache
- Heat the cream: Gently heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan until just simmering. Do not boil.
- Combine: Place the finely chopped dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate.
- Melt: Let sit for 1 minute, then stir until smooth and glossy.
- Adjust: For a thinner sauce, add a little more warm cream. For a thicker ganache, use slightly less cream.
To Serve
- Serve the waffles warm. Top with sliced banana, strawberries, and warm chocolate ganache. Bon appétit.
Notes:
From the kitchen
- If the batter feels thick or thickens as it rests, add 1–2 tablespoons milk to loosen it.
- Mix gently to keep the waffles tender inside. Stop as soon as the flour disappears.
- This batter is lightly sweet, not dessert-level. The chocolate ganache adds richness without overpowering.
- Using brown sugar adds a slightly deeper, warmer flavor, a touch more moisture, and causes the waffles to brown a bit faster.
- This recipe makes approximately 3 to 8 waffles, depending on the size and style of your waffle iron. The exact number will vary based on how much batter your waffle maker requires per waffle.
- Always refer to your specific waffle maker’s instructions, as manufacturers often recommend an exact batter amount to prevent overfilling and spilling.
