Belgium Waffles

I know it is a while I posted something here as some of you know , my two nieces were here with us for a month holiday from India.
So I have been busy with them and taking them to places. In this one month we went to see places in Holland, France, Germany and ofcourse in Belgium.
So it has been very busy.
I did indulge them in my cooking and baking, just didn't had time to take pictures of the dishes, In the time they were here I could only take pics of these Waffles and then of the Macarons I made for them.
For the rest it was all gobbled up fast :-) or no time to take a picture.
I have posted Waffle when I started my blog, but then as I made these for my nieces I thought I will take new pictures and blog them again.
You want to see step by step pictures you can see in my old post, I have been using this recipe now for years and it always come out perfect.

A waffle is a batter or dough-based cake cooked in a waffle iron patterned to give a distinctive and characteristic shape. There are many variations based on the type and shape of the iron and the recipe used.
The modern waffle has its origins in the wafers—very light thin crisp cakes baked between wafer irons—of the Middle Ages in the Province of Brabant (modern-day Belgium)

Wafer irons consisted of two metal plates connected by a hinge, with each plate connected to an arm with a wooden handle. The iron was placed over a fire and flipped to cook both sides of the wafer. The irons were used to produce a variety of different flat, unleavened cakes, usually from a mixture of barley and oats, instead of the white flour used today.

 Brussels waffles, is generally, but not always, lighter, thicker, and crispier and has larger pockets compared to other waffle varieties.
They are easy to differentiate from Liège Waffles by their rectangular sides.
In Belgium, most waffles are served warm by street vendors and dusted with confectioner's sugar though in tourist areas they might be topped with whipped cream, soft fruit or chocolate spread (a practice considered 'unauthentic' by some local conoisseurs

Despite their name, 'Brussels waffles' were actually invented in Ghent in 1839. They were introduced to America by restaurateur Maurice Vermersch, who sold his Brussels waffles under the name "Bel-Gem Waffles" at New York's 1964 World's Fair.

100 gm Butter melted
1 litre Buttermilk
500 gm flour
3 eggs
3 tbsp oil
2 tbsp sugar
Half tbsp of soda bi carbonate.

For serving: Powder sugar
Butter

Method:
Mix everything together and make the waffers. I use my hand mixer to mix everything so that there is no lumb in the batter.
Heat the waffle machine ( it has to be really hot) pour few table spoon of the batter and close the lid, cook it for few minutes and take them out.
Spread butter and sprinkle wih sugar and enjoy.
I do admit when I make waffle at home, I will be in the kitchen making them and serving them to my family straight from the waffle iron.
It is something you have to eat it warm, so serve to your family/guest directly.
