Rosewater & almond waffles

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Cakes and Desserts
Waffles are a Belgian invention, but the flavouring here evokes the Middle East. The perfumed, floral aroma of rosewater and the marzipan-like character of almonds are a classic Persian pairing. Almond flour in the batter not only adds flavour but, due to its fat content, makes the batter shorter and softer, reducing the toughness of the gluten structure.

Instructions

1 ✓

Dry ingredients: Mix the flour, almond flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.

Tip: Even distribution of baking powder is critical for a good rise.
2 ✓

Wet ingredients: Beat the eggs, mix in the milk, lukewarm melted butter, and rosewater.

Tip: Butter shouldn't be hot, or it will scramble the eggs (coagulation).
3 ✓

Mixing: Pour the liquid into the flour and mix until lump-free. Do not overmix!

Tip: Overmixing activates gluten, making the waffle rubbery and bread-like instead of short.
4 ✓

Cooking: Heat up the waffle iron. Pour in batter, sprinkle with flaked almonds, then close. Bake until golden brown (4-5 minutes).

Tip: The almonds toast on the hot iron surface, adding extra flavour and crunch.

Recipe FAQ

The rose taste is too strong.
Rosewater is very concentrated. Always taste the batter before baking, and add drop by drop!
Why did it stick to the iron?
There was too little fat in the batter or on the surface. Due to almond flour, the batter is more fragile; remove carefully!
