French waffles

Ingredients for 10 servings:

• 250 g sour milk
• 2 egg yolks
• ½ tbsp lemon zest
• 50 g sugar, finely granulated
• 2 tbsp rum
• 2 egg whites

Instructions

Working time approx. 1 hour; Total time approx. 1 hour

Thoroughly mix the flour with the sour cream. Separate the eggs. Whisk the egg yolks with the sugar, a pinch of salt, grated lemon zest, and the rum until frothy. Stir this mixture into the flour and sour cream mixture. The batter should not be thick; it should fall easily from the spoon. Add a little more rum if necessary. Beat the egg whites until stiff and carefully fold into the mixture. Let the batter rest for half an hour. Preheat the waffle iron and grease it with neutral-tasting oil or margarine. Pour about 3 tablespoons of batter into the iron. The batter should spread out to a distance of 2 cm from the edges. Close the iron and bake the waffles until light brown. Tip: Let the waffles cool on a wire rack to keep them crispy. The waffles can be sprinkled with sugar and cinnamon.
