Gaufres maison Tried a waffle recipe from my Laduree book.

Tried a waffle recipe from my Laduree book. This is already adapted to my taste as I found the original recipe makes really thick batter; and I want more sweetened waffles. I added more salt and milk too. 

75g cake flour

200ml whole milk

50ml whole milk

50ml creme fraiche or sour cream

40g sugar

1tbsp water

1/4tsp salt

30g unsalted butter

3 large eggs

1/4tsp vanilla

—

-Sift flour.

-Bring 200ml milk, salt, sugar to a simmer over medium low heat. Remove from heat.

-Dump in sifted flour. Use a wooden spoon to stir quickly until it forms a mass that pulls all flour away from the sides of the pan.

– Let it rest 1-2 minutes.

– Beat in one egg at a time with a hand mixer at low speed (1 or 2)

– Add the rest of milk and crème fraiche or sour cream and water.  Mix until incorporated.

– Let it rest 1 hour before making waffles.

– Heat the waffle iron, use butter spray if needed.

– Cook approximately 6-8 minutes until golden depending on how powerful the waffle iron is.

**I like to eat mine with whipped cream and some strawberry jam, A has them with salted butter.

I made waffles with many recipes before, this is the 1st time I’ve made them with this method. I was so excited to see how it turns out. I think they are richer in taste. I might try incorporate this with the adding-meringue method next time.
