Categories     main-dish

Time 35m

Yield About 8 waffles

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon fine salt
1 1/2 cups milk
4 tablespoons melted unsalted butter, plus more for brushing waffle iron
4 tablespoons vegetable shortening, melted
2 large eggs
Pure maple syrup, soft unsalted butter, confectioners' sugar or fruit preserves, for topping

Steps:

  • Preheat a waffle iron to medium-high. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F (to keep cooked waffles warm). Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Whisk together the milk, butter, shortening and eggs in another bowl. Pour the milk mixture into the flour mixture and gently stir until just incorporated (it's okay if there are some lumps).
  • Lightly brush the top and bottom of the waffle iron with butter. Fill the waffle iron about three-quarters of the way full (some waffle iron should still be showing). Close the lid gently and cook until the waffles are golden brown and crisp, 6 to 7 minutes. Keep the cooked waffles warm in the oven or covered with foil on a plate while you make the remaining waffles.
  • Serve with maple syrup, butter, sugar or fruit preserves.

SWEDISH CRISP WAFFLES (FRASVAFFLOR)



Swedish Crisp Waffles (Frasvafflor) image

Waffles are a very popular street food and coffee shop item in Sweden. We also eat them specifically on the Feast of the Annunciation because "Vårfrudagen" (Lady Day in Swedish) sounded a lot like "våffeldagen", thus became Waffle Day! These are a lot crisper and lighter than American and Belgian waffles and contain no eggs. Serve immediately with whipped cream and fresh fruit or jam.

Tips:

  • Use the right waffle maker: A good waffle maker will make all the difference. Look for one with adjustable heat settings and a non-stick surface.
  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh, high-quality ingredients will make your waffles taste their best.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make your waffles tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Let the batter rest: Letting the batter rest for a few minutes before cooking will allow the gluten to relax, resulting in lighter, fluffier waffles.
  • Cook the waffles on medium heat: Cooking the waffles on medium heat will help them cook evenly and prevent them from burning.
  • Don't overcrowd the waffle maker: Overcrowding the waffle maker will prevent the waffles from cooking evenly.
  • Serve the waffles immediately: Waffles are best served immediately after they are cooked. If you need to keep them warm, place them in a warm oven.

Conclusion:

Crispy, crunchy waffles are a delicious and versatile breakfast or brunch dish. With the right ingredients and a little practice, you can make perfect waffles at home. Experiment with different toppings and flavors to find your favorite combination. Enjoy!
