Equipment
- Waffle maker
- Mixing Bowl
- Whisk or fork (for beating the egg and combining ingredients)
- Measuring cups and measuring spoons
- Spatula (for removing waffles from the waffle maker)
- Small saucepan (optional, if warming the maple syrup)
Ingredients
- 1 egg
- 2 grams vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 30 ml organic cream
- 40 ml brewed coffee or espresso
- 40 ml pure maple syrup
- 100 grams buckwheat flour
- 50 grams quark or curd cheese
Instructions
- Start by gathering all your wet ingredients. This includes:1 cup of brewed coffee (cooled)2 large eggs1/4 cup of vegetable oil or melted butter1 teaspoon of vanilla extractIn a large mixing bowl, combine the brewed coffee, eggs, oil, and vanilla extract. Use a whisk to mix thoroughly. Make sure the eggs are well beaten and the mixture is smooth. This step is crucial as it adds moisture and flavor to your waffles.For best results, let the mixture sit for a few minutes. This allows the flavors to blend nicely.
- Next, gather your dry ingredients. You will need:1 cup all-purpose flour1/4 cup sugar1 tablespoon baking powder1/2 teaspoon saltIn another bowl, mix the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Use a whisk or a spoon to combine evenly. Check for lumps and break them up. A smooth mixture ensures your waffles will be fluffy.
- Now it’s time to bring the two mixtures together. Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Using a spatula or whisk, gently mix them together.Be careful not to overmix. Some lumps are okay. Overmixing can make the waffles tough. Here’s how to ensure a good blend:Start from the center and move outward.Mix until just combined.Stop when you see no dry flour.Let the batter rest for about 5 minutes. This allows the baking powder to activate, giving your waffles that perfect rise. While waiting, preheat your waffle iron to the desired temperature.
- Cooking your waffles is the final step. Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions. Once heated, lightly grease the surface with cooking spray or oil.Pour about 1/2 to 3/4 cup of batter into the waffle iron. Spread it evenly for uniform cooking. Close the lid and cook according to your waffle maker’s instructions. Usually, this takes about 4 to 6 minutes.Check the waffles when the timer goes off. They should be golden brown and crisp. If not, cook for another minute or two. Use a fork to carefully remove them.
