RECIPES
To begin, here is some advice on the ingredients to use, according to
your preferences...
For soft waffles, use milk and cream. These waffles must be eaten
*
as soon as they are removed from the mould.
For light, crunchy waffles use water and beer.
*
Be they soft or crunchy, it is important to use yeast.
*
(Use 10 g of yeast per 500 g of flour – leave the batter to stand for
30 to 60 minutes).
Using baker's yeast gives better quality waffles but requires the
batter to stand for around hours.

WARNING: when standing, batter made with baker's yeast can
expand to several times its initial volume... So make sure you use
a big enough container!
