A new life

A Valentine present

like this:
and the result: delicious!


The recipe comes from the Farmers' Wives' Association Cookbook (Boerinnenbond).

For 16 waffles

500 g flour
40 g yeast
200 g molten butter
500 ml milk
500 ml water
4 eggs
pinch of salt

Mix yeast in 125 ml lukewarm water.
Put the flour in a big bowl, make a hole in the middle, add yeast and then lukewarm milk and egg yolks.
After this add in turn the rest of the water, molten butter, whisked egg whites and salt.
Let the dough rise in a warm spot for half an hour.
Stir it gently and let it rise again until it has doubled in volume (about an hour).

The waffle iron does not need to be greased.
Serve with powder sugar or whipped cream or butter and brown sugar.
