Brussels Waffle on!

Here's a Brussels waffle recipe for the waffle lovers! They're crunchy or at least they should be because this recipe is untested yet! I'll try to test it as soon as possible.

Ingredients:
  • 250g flour
  • 200ml milk
  • 125 ml water
  • 4 eggs, separated in yolks and whites 
  • 100g molten butter
  • 50g of sugar
  • 20g fresh yeast (or dry yeast equivalent)
  • 1 bag of vanilla sugar (+-5g)
  • a pinch of salt
Instructions:
  1. Sieve the flour into a deep mixing bowl, and mix the flour with the vanilla sugar, milk and the molten butter.
  2. Put 5g of the sugar and the water in a small pan on the stove, and warm until tepid (body heat). Add the yeast. Make sure the liquid is not over body heat, otherwise you'll kill the yeast.
  3. Mix the yeast water and the egg yolks into the batter.
  4. Whisk the egg whites with the sugar until you get a stiff foam. Use an electric mixer, it's easiest.
  5. Carefully, without stirring too much, fold the egg white foam and the salt into the batter.
  6. Put a wet cloth on the mixing bowl and let the batter rise for an hour in a warm place.
  7. Make a waffle iron hot, and butter it. Put in the batter, not more that 2/3s full, and bake the waffle for about 6 minutes. Don't pinch the iron so the dough can rise whilst baking.
  8. Serve with powder sugar and fruits.
