Treat your ingredients with care...
- Yeast — Ensure that the yeast is fresh and active to achieve a good rise in the batter.
- Butter — Use unsalted butter to control the saltiness of the wafels.
- Milk — Lukewarm milk helps activate the yeast and aids in the rising process.
- Eggs — Use large eggs at room temperature for better incorporation into the batter.
- Vanilla extract — Choose a high-quality vanilla extract to enhance the flavor of the wafels.
Tips & Tricks
- For extra crispiness, let the wafels cool completely on a wire rack before serving.
- If you prefer a sweeter taste, sprinkle the wafels with powdered sugar or drizzle them with honey.
- Experiment with different toppings such as fresh berries, whipped cream, or Nutella for a personalized touch.
- To reheat leftover wafels, place them in a toaster or oven for a few minutes until warm and crispy.
- If you don't have a waffle iron, you can use a regular pan to make thicker wafels.
Serving advice
Serve the Lacquemant wafels warm or at room temperature. They are delicious on their own, but you can also serve them with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an indulgent treat.
Presentation advice
Arrange the Lacquemant wafels on a platter and dust them with powdered sugar for an elegant presentation. You can also garnish them with fresh mint leaves or a drizzle of chocolate sauce to add a touch of sophistication.
