Cast Iron Gaufres French Waffles Recipes

GAUFRES FRENCH WAFFLES

Steps:

• Start by heating on a low heat the milk with sugar, a pinch of salt and the cubbed butter.
• Put the flour in a bowl (or in the bowl of your food processor). Pour the milk-salt-sugar-butter hot mixture and combine until smooth.
• Whip egg whites and gently add this to the preparation.
• Then cook in your waffle maker previously lightly greased with paper towel covered with oil, a few minutes on each side.

EASY FRENCH TOAST WAFFLES

Steps:

• Preheat a waffle iron according to manufacturer's instructions and spray with cooking spray.
• Whisk milk, eggs, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt together in a wide bowl until thoroughly combined. Dip bread slices 1 at a time in the egg mixture, coating both sides completely. Lift bread with a slotted spatula to allow excess egg mixture to drain back into the bowl. Place dipped bread slices on a rimmed baking sheet and let rest until mixture soaks in, about 2 minutes.
• Place dipped bread in the preheated waffle iron. Gently close the lid without forcing it down. Cook according to manufacturer's instructions until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Repeat with remaining slices.

FRENCH TOAST WAFFLES

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk the first 6 ingredients until blended. Dip both sides of bread in egg mixture. Place in a preheated waffle iron; bake until golden brown, 4-5 minutes. If desired, cut waffles into thirds. Serve with syrup. Freeze option: Cool waffles on wire racks. Freeze between layers of waxed paper in freezer containers. Reheat frozen waffles in a toaster on medium setting.

FRENCH TOAST WAFFLES

Steps:

• Preheat waffle iron. In a large mixing bowl, combine waffle mix, sugar and cinnamon. Stir in milk, eggs and vanilla extract.
• Spray preheated waffle iron with non-stick cooking spray. Pour mix onto hot waffle iron. Cook until golden brown. Serve hot.

GAUFRES (FRENCH WAFFLES)

Steps:

• Heat one cup of the milk in a saucepan, and add the salt and butter. Bring to the simmer. Remove from the heat.
• Add the flour immediately, beating constantly with a wire whisk.
• Return the mixture to the heat, stirring constantly until mixture comes away from the sides of the bowl. Pour the mixture into the bowl of an electric mixer and start beating on low speed. Add two eggs at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in the remaining milk and the cream. This will produce a thin, lumpy batter.
• Add the mixture, an appropriate amount at a time, to the surface of an electric waffle iron. The volume will depend on the size of the iron. Cover and cook according to the manufacturer's instructions.

GAUFRES: BEST FRENCH WAFFLES RECIPE

Steps:

• Heat one cup of milk in a saucepan, and add the sugar, salt and butter. Bring to a simmer until the butter is fully melted, then remove from the heat.
• Add the flour, beating with a wire whisk. Return the mixture to the heat, stirring constantly until the mixture comes away from the sides of the bowl.
• Pour the mixture into the bowl of an electric mixer using the whisk attachment, or use a hand mixer with a large bowl. Beat the batter on low, until slightly cooled. Add the eggs, two at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat the remaining milk, cream, and vanilla extract into the egg mixture. The batter will be thin an very lumpy and you will wonder how it could ever produce anything delicious.
• Heat up your waffle iron and, once hot, spray it with some cooking spray. Pour the appropriate volume of waffle batter into your hot waffle iron (ours needed about a half cup of this very runny batter). Cook according to your waffle iron's instructions.
• Remove the waffle with a fork and top with tasty treats. If you're hosting a waffle frolic, place waffles on a rimmed baking sheet in a warm oven (heated to about 150 F) to keep warm until you're ready to serve.

GAUFRES (AUTHENTIC BELGIAN WAFFLES)

Steps:

• Separate the 4 eggs, adding the yolks to the sugar and setting the whites aside for later use.
• Add the flour and butter to the yolk and sugar mixture, first by stirring and then by working the mixture into a uniform dough with your hands.
• Beat the egg whites until they are fluffy: when you lift the beater from the whites, soft peaks should form and then fall back, not holding much shape.
• Crumble the dough and drop the pieces into the egg whites.
• Stir by mashing the pieces of dough into the whites with a spoon, then stirring until a uniform consistency is achieved.
• Heat up a waffle iron.
• When it is hot (but not too hot), drop the batter onto the iron in the desired serving size.
• I usually get about 12 waffles roughly 4-5 inches in diameter from this recipe.

LIEGE WAFFLE RECIPE / LIèGE GAUFRE RECETTE

Steps:

• Place yeast, milk, and water into the workbowl of a stand mixer. Stir for a few seconds to moisten the yeast.
• Add the egg and 1/3 of the total flour. Mix to blend. Scrape down sides of bowl.
• Sprinkle remaining flour over the mixture, but do not stir it inches Cover and let stand 75-90 minutes (at the end of that time, you'll notice the batter bubbling up through the cover of flour).
• Add brown sugar, salt, and baking powder* ( * while baking powder is not a traditional ingredient, it provides a slightly more modern texture. If you like, omit the baking powder and add 1/2 teaspoons more yeast.) to the workbowl of a stand mixer. Mix on low speed - just to blend.
• With machine on low, add honey and vanilla. Then add 2 tablespoons of butter at a time. Mix 4 minutes at medium-low speed; scrape down sides once or twice in that period. Let the dough rest for 1 minute and then continue to mix for 2 minutes. If you measured your ingredients perfectly, the dough will be sticking to the sides of the bowl in the last minute of mixing and then, in the last 30 seconds of so, will start to ball-up on the paddle. If this does not happen, let the dough rest for 1 more minute and mix for another 2 minutes. Whatever the outcome of the extra mixing, proceed to Step 6.
• Scrape the dough into a large bowl, sprinkle lightly with flour, cover with plastic wrap and let rise at room temperature for 4 hours. This step is crucial for developing the flavor.
• REFRIGERATE FOR 30 MINUTES BEFORE PROCEEDING TO STEP #8. This is essential. The yeast respiration must be slowed before continuing.
• Stir the dough down (meaning: gently deflate the gases from the dough, by pressing on it with a rubber spatula), scrape it onto a piece of plastic wrap, and then use the spatula to press the dough into a long rectangle. Fold that rectangle over on itself (by thirds - like a letter) so that you have a square of dough. Wrap it in plastic, weigh it down a bit (I put two heavy dinner plates on top of it) and refrigerate overnight.
• The next day, place the cold dough (it will be quite firm) in a large bowl and add all of the pearl sugar to a bowl. It will seem like a lot of sugar, but it's supposed to be :) Mix it into the dough by hand until the chunks are well-distrubuted. Once mixed, divide the dough into 5 pieces of equal size.
• Shape each chunk into an oval ball (like a football without the pointy ends) and let it rise (covered loosely in plastic wrap) for exactly 90 minutes.
• If you have a professional waffle iron (meaning: it's cast iron and weighs over 20 pounds) cook at exactly 365-370 degrees (the max temp before sugar begins to burn/decompose) for approximately 2 minutes.** Give each waffle a few minutes to cool slightly before eating. No syrup or toppings are needed, unless you'd like to add some fruit or a dusting of powdered sugar; they're quite sweet on their own.
• If you have a regular waffle iron, heat the iron to 420 degrees (hint: many regular waffle irons go up to and over 550 degrees at their highest setting) , place the dough on the iron, and immediately unplug it or turn the temp dial all the way down. Otherwise, the sugar will burn.
