When the snow is falling..its time for homemade waffels


When the snow is falling and the kids walk hom from school for the first time alone  in the white and crisp snow and their cheeks are burning red from the cold,  its time a good mummy gets up and makes hot chokolate and waffels with whipped cream and blueberry jam.)



I make a dough of eggs, milk, a tiny bit water, a pinch of salt, sugar, vanilla and some flour, and small teaspoon of baking powder- mix it up well and then add some melted but cooled  butter and mix it in. Let it stand for half an hour before cooking the dough in your waffel iron. I use an old fashioned one, the kind you put on your stowe and turn around as u bake it. Its messy and more work, but its good..like good wafels should be;)

An old woman I have known all my life told me a trick from the southern part of Denmark where she comesa from: put a couple of spoonfuls of snow in the dough just before baking it- makes them fluffier and crispier!
