Nature, sprinkled with a veil of sugar or generously garnished with melted chocolate and whipped cream, the waffles delight all the sweet beaks. No matter how hard you follow the recipe, your waffles are a bit soft and sorely lack crisp? What if it was a cooking problem?
To be sure to feast on crisp waffles at will, the cooking stage is very important. It is imperative to preheat your waffle iron well before pouring the dough. Strong heat from the start of cooking makes it possible to “grasp” the waffles well and prevents them from moving. The waffles will thus cook as soon as the dough comes into contact with the device, and will be very crisp, while remaining soft inside. Likewise, do not open the waffle iron too early. A premature opening may bring back the waffle and make it less appetizing and less tasty. Depending on the models, the cooking time can vary from 3 to 5 minutes. A little tip: when there is no more steam escapes, it is that your waffles are ready.
Cooking mastery is not solely guaranteeing the success of your waffles. It is obviously necessary that the dough is prepared correctly. To obtain crisp waffles at will, you can replace (in part or in whole) milk with water or beer. Indeed, milk brings smoothness, but less crisp. CQFD! Another tip, check that your dough is very homogeneous before pouring it into the waffle iron. If it has lumps, the consistency will be altered.
Haven’t you come to the end of all your waffles? So that they remain just as tasty the next day, place them in a box by stacking them and separating them with baking paper. Place everything in the fridge (or even in the freezer). Then you just have to warm them in a medium oven or to the toaster so that they find all their crisp.
