It is 30C outside, beautiful summer day and our “little” happy girl is going to a party. A friend has invited her to join in their family home garden having fun and swimming in the in-door pool. Happy sixteen, I wish I could do the same! Instead as responsible parents we are baking classic Belgian waffles to bring as a gift for the girls and nibble while having fun.
This recipe is a real classic, copied from the pages of the yellow looking booklet, still miraculously kept in the box together with the waffle iron machine. Yet, tested for nearly over a decade in our waffle loving family home.
