Instructions

Working time approx. 45 minutes; Rest period approx. 1 day; Total time approx. 1 day 45 minutes

light, dough without butter, suitable for WW, low fat

Mix the flour with the baking powder, salt, and sugar. Add the whisked yogurt and egg yolk and stir to form a smooth batter. Gradually add the low-fat milk until it forms a thick paste. Let it rest for about 10 minutes, then thoroughly fold in the stiffly beaten egg whites. Grease the preheated waffle iron with a little butter (I only do this for the first waffle; it’s usually enough), add enough batter to just fill the grooves. Close the iron and bake the waffles until golden and crispy. Makes about 6-9 heart-shaped waffles. 24 P in total. For 8 waffles, add 3 P per waffle. Plum jam: Wash the plums, halve them, and remove the stones. Mix with the sugar and spices and let stand in a covered pot for 24 hours. Bring to a boil on high, stirring continuously, and then simmer for about 3 hours. The pot should only be half full. Stir occasionally. Then add the rum and pour into hot, rinsed preserving jars, screw the lids on, and turn upside down for 5 minutes. If you want to make it easier, boil a jar of plums with a little rum, cinnamon, and 1 packet of vanilla sugar until a purée forms. Serve one waffle with plum jam and 1 scoop of vanilla ice cream. Of course, the low-fat waffles don’t taste like waffles made with butter; they have a slightly different consistency and flavor. Nevertheless, this is one of the few diet recipes for desserts that I really like and will continue to make. We always eat it with a little plum jam and 1 scoop of ice cream per waffle. Even this combination, with around 5 points, has significantly fewer calories and fat than a buttery waffle without any toppings, which has around 8 points.
