4
  • 250 ml water (ice cold!)
  • 200 g all-purpose flour (325 ml)
  • a pinch of salt
  • 400 ml heavy or whipping cream
  • melted butter

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a large mixing bowl, toss together the flour, the water and the salt until you have a smooth mixture.

  2. 2

    Whip the cream until it is firm and mix it carefully with the water-flour mixture.

  3. 3

    Pre-heat a waffle iron (yes, unfortunately you do need a special iron; we have not been able to find a good substitute) and grease it lightly.

  4. 4

    Pour 100 ml of the batter onto the waffle iron and cook until crisp and golden (approximately 2 minutes).

  5. 5

    Serve immediately together with whipped cream and a suitable fruit or berry jam. Some even like to sweeten the waffles with some granulated sugar.
