Ingredients

  • Flour: 1000g

  • Butter: 400g

  • Eggs: 2

  • Caster sugar: 150g

  • Salt: 20g

  • Fresh yeast: 42g

  • Lukewarm water: 250ml

  • Cinnamon Or powdered vanillin

  • Fruit

  • Potato starch

Preparation

  • Step 1

    Make a compote from small pieces of fruit (cherries, peach….according to taste). Mix this compote with the potato starch to get a consistent fruit jelly.

  • Step 2

    Pour the flour in to a bowl, mix with the sugar and salt, and make a well in the centre.

  • Step 3

    Add the yeast dissolved in the tepid water. Beat everything together while incorporating the caster sugar, 2 whole eggs, the soften butter (but not melted) and add the salt, cinnamon or vanilla. Make a light, dry dough.

  • Step 4

    Leave the batter for about 45 minutes.

  • Step 5

    Divide the batter into rectangles (90 g to 100 g) and roll to the size of about two waffles. On one half, arrange the fruit and sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar. Moisten the edges with egg, fold over and press the edges together. Ensure that the edge is completely sealed all the way around.

  • Step 6

    Divide the batter into rectangles (90 g to 100 g) and roll to the size of about two waffles. On one half, arrange the fruit and sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar. Moisten the edges with egg, fold over and press the edges together. Ensure that the edge is completely sealed all the way around.

  • Step 7

    Do not make all your waffles in one go. Prepare the following two while the first are cooking and so on to make sure the fruit doesn’t make the dough soggy.
