GERMAN WAFFLES

Steps:

• Beat egg whites: Separate the eggs. Whisk egg white with a pinch of salt until stiff. Set aside.
• Beat: Place the soft butter, sugar, vanilla sugar, or vanilla extract into another bowl, mix until creamy. Add the egg yolks and mix well until the sugar is dissolved.
• Batter: In another bowl, sift together the flour and the baking powder. Start adding them to the butter mixture alternating with the milk. Start and finish with the flour.
• Stir in the mineral water. Carefully fold in the stiff egg whites.
• Bake the waffles according to the directions of your waffle maker. My waffles took about 6-7 minutes to become crisp and nicely browned on the outside while remaining soft and fluffy on the inside.
• Temperature: My waffle maker also has different temperature settings and I prefer using a medium-high one, for instance, 4 or 5 out of 6 temperature settings. But that is a matter of personal taste; adjust the temperature setting accordingly.
• Bake: Pour some batter into the waffle iron, regarding the instructions of the waffle maker again. Close the waffle maker and bake until the waffle is golden.
• Time: Usually, the waffle makers will have a way of letting you know that the waffle is ready, either a (green) light or it will make some sound. But that depends on the waffle iron you are using.
• Keep the waffles warm in the oven by 100 degrees Celsius/ 200 degrees Fahrenheit until you are finished with baking.
• Serve the waffles warm with cherry sauce and whipped cream or as suggested above.
