Brussels Gaufre 🧇

Method

1. 1

   Dissolve yeast in warm milk; mix into flour with egg yolks, melted butter, sugar and salt to a smooth dough.

2. 2

   Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about an hour.

3. 3

   Whisk the egg whites to stiff peaks and fold them through the dough in two additions, keeping as much air as possible.

4. 4

   Heat a waffle iron, brush with butter and fill each mold generously; the dough should puff to fill it.

5. 5

   Bake until deeply golden and crisp, dust with icing sugar and eat hot, the way the market stalls do.
