Instruction
Dough ingredients
Sift the flour and place in a bowl together with the baking powder.
Whip the eggs, add softened butter, vanilla sugar, lemon grated, salt, some cinnamon and sugar and mix well.
Stir
Add the milk little by little and mix.
Test dough
Check the consistency.
A viscous flowing dough should be produced.
Bake waffles
Preheat the waffle iron and lightly grease it.
Add a few tablespoons of dough and spread.
Close the iron and bake the waffle at medium to high heat.
Prepare Cherries
Separate the sour cherries from the juice in the glass first.
Let the juice simmer with the liqueur, port wine or rum and the spices for 15 minutes.
Add the cherries again and heat them up.
Add cornflour stirred with a little cold water.
Do this little by little and pay attention to the consistency.
If necessary, stir in more starch or add a little less.
Arrange and serve
Arrange the freshly baked waffles with the hot cherries and vanilla ice cream.
Dust with icing sugar through a sieve.
Bon appetit!

The next day I heat the remaining waffles on the toaster and serve them with homemade strawberry jam or apricot jam.

3. Tips for Preparing Waffle Batter
How does waffle baking work best? My tips:
- Stir the dough and let it rest for a little while (1-2 hours).
- Flavour the wafer dough with vanilla, lemon peel, aniseed or cinnamon
- Grease the waffle iron sparingly with a baking brush or kitchen towel with butter or tasteless oil
- Preheat the waffle iron well
- Don’t be disappointed about the first waffle, which is usually less successful – it is for the baker 😉
Our companions:
- Cherry ragout: Sounds wild, has nothing to do with meat. We refine our hot cherries with cinnamon, wine, liqueur, citrus zest and vanilla
- Whipped cream: fresh whipped cream with vanilla sugar
- Vanilla ice cream: Who does not have an ice cream machine, buys the ice cream from the freezer in addition …or you can get it fresh from the Italian ice cream parlor.
- Icing sugar

5. Waffles – the Most Beautiful Variety Explained
First thing that comes to mind are Grandma’s waffles. Fine sponge waffles baked in the shape of a heart and refined with icing sugar, that was also available in Bavaria.
Waffle cookies (Krumkake), they are liked in Northern Germany. They are crispy, thin New Year’s cakes with aniseed, rolled into conical bags. For all those who also love liquorice…
Stroopwafels, lekker! Be sure to try it when you are in Holland. There are great little shops in Amsterdam where the Stroop wafers are freshly baked. You can also get a fancy topping of your choice. Stroopwafels are ambiguous and filled with caramel – what more do you want 🙂
Belgian waffles, which are baked with or without yeast, are similar in taste and consistency to granny’s waffles.
I show you here the square Brussels waffles, these are soft waffles with the typical hollow ribs. Liège waffles are similar: just as thick with rather round, crispy edges.
