Preheat the oven to 100°C so the waffles stay warm. It’s best to put the plate in there beforehand, as long as it’s heatproof. You can also soften the butter in the oven if you forgot to put it out. Place the frozen fruit in a tall container and mix it with the sugar to thaw. If the container is heatproof, you can put the fruit in the oven for a few minutes until it hasn’t reached full temperature. Cream the butter, sugar, and vanilla sugar until fluffy. Gradually add the eggs one at a time, and the milk a sip at a time, and mix well. You want a nice, creamy, even-colored mixture. Mix the flour and baking powder together with the egg and butter mixture, making sure there are no lumps. Heat the waffle iron and bake the batter in batches until golden yellow and crispy waffles are formed. Keep them warm in the oven, separated by baking paper. Now finely puree the thawed fruit, straining it through a fine sieve if necessary to remove the seeds, and serve as a sauce with the warm waffles. The above-mentioned amount is enough for a maximum of three people if you have a serious sweet tooth. For larger groups, double or triple the amount. Tip: Leftover sauce makes a wonderful ice cream cone with yogurt.
