Remmy, "Le Soir" is a newspaper from Wallonia, they are the minority in Belgium, they only represent 40% and they vote Socialist. :icon_eek:
Plus, the Belgians don't really exist anymore, on the 15th of July there has to be a major reform of the state or chances are up that Flanders will declare it's independance. The marriage seems to be over!
And that's gonna bring us in deep trouble coz', how the hell are we going to call Belgian waffles in the future? Flemish Waffles? Walloon Waffles?
I don't call 'em anything! I just eat 'em :icon_biggrin:
BTW, do try this at home!
INGREDIENTS
* 1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast
* 1/4 cup warm milk (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
* 3 egg yolks
* 2 3/4 cups warm milk (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
* 3/4 cup butter, melted and cooled to lukewarm
* 1/2 cup white sugar
* 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
* 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
* 4 cups all-purpose flour
* 3 egg whites
DIRECTIONS
1. In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in 1/4 cup warm milk. Let stand until creamy, about 10 minutes.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, 1/4 cup of the warm milk and the melted butter. Stir in the yeast mixture, sugar, salt and vanilla. Stir in the remaining 2 1/2 cups milk alternately with the flour, ending with the flour. Beat the egg whites until they form soft peaks; fold into the batter. Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap. Let rise in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 1 hour.
3. Preheat the waffle iron. Brush with oil and spoon about 1/2 cup (or as recommended by manufacturer) onto center of iron. Close the lid and bake until it stops steaming and the waffle is golden brown. Serve immediately or keep warm in 200 degree oven.
