Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: German
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup Eierlikör (egg liqueur)
- 1/4 cup melted butter
Instructions
- Prepare your waffle iron by plugging it in and allowing it to heat up to medium-high temperature. Lightly grease the waffle iron plates with non-stick cooking spray or brush with melted butter to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk these dry ingredients together until they are well incorporated and free of lumps.
- In a separate bowl, crack the two large eggs. Beat them thoroughly until they become smooth and slightly frothy.
- Add the milk, Eierlikör (egg liqueur), and melted butter to the beaten eggs. Whisk these wet ingredients together until they are completely blended.
- Pour the wet ingredient mixture into the dry ingredients. Gently fold and mix the batter until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; some small lumps are acceptable and will ensure tender waffles.
- Allow the batter to rest for 2-3 minutes, which helps the flour absorb the liquid and creates a smoother texture.
- Using a ladle or measuring cup, pour the appropriate amount of batter into the center of the preheated waffle iron. Close the lid and cook for approximately 3-4 minutes or until the waffles are golden brown and crisp.
- Carefully remove the waffle using a fork or silicone spatula. Place on a wire rack to prevent sogginess, or keep warm in a low-temperature oven.
- Repeat the cooking process with the remaining batter, re-greasing the waffle iron as needed.
- Serve warm, optionally garnished with powdered sugar, whipped cream, fresh berries, or a drizzle of additional Eierlikör.
Tips
- Perfect Temperature: Ensure your waffle iron is preheated to medium-high for the best results. This will help achieve that perfect golden-brown crust while keeping the inside fluffy.
- Don’t Overmix: When combining the wet and dry ingredients, mix just until incorporated. A few lumps are okay; overmixing can lead to tough waffles.
- Rest the Batter: Allowing the batter to rest for 2-3 minutes helps create a smoother texture and fluffier waffles. Patience pays off!
- Greasing is Key: Lightly grease the waffle iron before pouring in the batter to prevent sticking. You can use non-stick cooking spray or a brush of melted butter for an extra touch of flavor.
- Serving Suggestions: For an extra indulgent experience, serve your Eierlikorwaffeln with fresh berries, whipped cream, or a drizzle of Eierlikör. A sprinkle of powdered sugar adds the perfect finishing touch!
- Keep Them Warm: If you’re making a batch, keep the cooked waffles warm in a low-temperature oven (around 200°F or 93°C) until you’re ready to serve.
