Brussel waffels

Ingredients

500 g flour
25 g of fresh yeast
Butter 200 g
1/2 liter milk
1/2 liter of sparkling water
4 eggs
1 packet of vanilla sugar
5 g of salt

How to make

Sift the flour into a bowl and sprinkle with sugar. Heat the water until it is lukewarm and dissolve the yeast in it. Heat the milk with mixing, add it to the flour, then the water. Put the butter over very low heat so they can melt slowly without browning, alternatively you can place it for a short time at the lowest position in the microwave. Separate the eggs and add the yolks to the mixture and the melted butter. Beat the egg and add. Mix well and add finally the salt and mix for a while.
Leave the dough in a warm but still free place to rise for about half an hour, the dough will nearly double in volume.

Baking the waffles

 Is not necessary to grease your waffle iron. Pour the batter evenly in the iron, close it and turn right around. Let it bake the allotted time (usually around 4 minutes) and remove the waffles 

Enjoy it !
