I usually make waffles when I need something quick for breakfast or when I'm craving a simple dessert without too much hassle. There’s no need for complicated ingredients, and the waffle maker does its job without keeping me in the kitchen for too long. This time, I also had some rose jam on hand, so I used it for serving, but the recipe works well with powdered sugar or any other jam too.
Quick Info
Total time: approximately 35-40 minutes
Preparation time: 10-15 minutes
Baking time: 20-25 minutes (varies depending on the appliance)
Servings: 8-10 waffles, depending on size
Difficulty: easy
Recipe type: quick dessert or breakfast
Ingredients
2 eggs
100 g granulated sugar
200 ml milk
100 g butter (room temperature)
a pinch of salt
1/2 packet baking powder
1 packet vanilla sugar
300 g all-purpose flour
rose jam (for serving)
Instructions
1. Prepare the butter at room temperature and mix it with the granulated sugar and vanilla sugar. Beat for a few minutes until you get a fluffy cream.
2. Add the eggs one at a time. After each egg, continue mixing at high speed until well incorporated.
3. Add half a packet of baking powder and a pinch of salt to the mixture. Mix a little more until evenly combined.
4. Reduce the mixer speed and start adding the milk and flour alternately. Add a little of each to avoid lumps, until all ingredients are used. The mixture will be denser than pancake batter but still pourable.
5. Preheat the waffle maker well, without greasing the plates (if not necessary for the model used). When hot, pour about two tablespoons of batter for each waffle. Close the appliance and let the waffles bake until they turn golden on both sides. For me, it takes about 3-4 minutes per batch, but it depends on the appliance.
6. Remove the waffles onto a rack or plate to avoid steaming. Serve immediately with rose jam or simply dusted with sugar.
Why I Make This Recipe Often
It’s a quick recipe that doesn’t require any special technique, and the ingredients are always on hand. The waffles turn out soft and fragrant, and if I have good jam or a bit of whipped cream, dessert is ready in no time. They can also be made in the morning without taking up too much time.
Tips and Variations
Tips
Do not overmix after adding the flour to avoid chewy waffles.
If the batter seems too thick, add a little more milk. If it’s too thin, a tablespoon of flour can balance the mixture.
Do not open the appliance in the first two minutes, so you don’t break the waffles.
Substitutions
Butter can be substituted with margarine if necessary, but the buttery flavor makes a difference.
Rose jam can be replaced with any jam, honey, or even chocolate spread.
Variations
You can add grated lemon or orange zest to the batter for a fresher taste.
For a crisper texture, leave the waffles in the appliance for an extra 30 seconds.
They can also be served cold, topped with fresh fruit.
Serving Ideas
They are best served warm, with rose jam or plain powdered sugar.
Other options: with whipped cream, berries, or vanilla ice cream.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Can I make the batter in advance and store it in the fridge?
Yes, it can be kept in the fridge for a few hours, but mix it gently before baking.
2. What if I don’t have a waffle maker?
The batter doesn’t work well in a frying pan; the texture will be different. There are other dedicated recipes for pan waffles.
3. Can I freeze the waffles after baking?
Yes, after they cool completely, you can freeze them. When reheating, use a toaster or oven.
4. How do I know when they are fully baked?
They should be golden on both sides and not wet to the touch. Open the appliance only after 3-4 minutes.
5. What if the waffles stick to the appliance?
Check if the plates need greasing. If so, use a little oil or butter before each batch.
Nutritional Values
Approximately, one waffle has about 230-250 kcal, 30 g carbohydrates, 9 g fats, and 5 g proteins (without jam). The rose jam adds extra sugars and calories. Values may vary depending on the size and thickness of the waffles, as well as the type of jam used.
Storage and Reheating
Waffles are best fresh. If there are leftovers, they can be kept at room temperature, covered, for 1 day. For longer storage, they can be frozen. To reheat, a few minutes in the oven or toaster will restore their good texture. If left too long in the fridge, they will become soggy.
