MOTHER'S RECIPE FOR BUTTER WAFFLES

As a little girl, I was already sitting on the countertop with a rolling pin in my right hand and a hidden ball of cookie dough in my left fist. My mother is the queen of the kitchen, and instead of playing with dolls, I preferred to help her roll out pie dough or assemble sauces. You could say I was spoon-fed that love for food. But really. That love for food remained, although I started to twist the recipes more and more into a healthy version. And that I found the most fun.

Still, there are those recipes that you just have to keep your hands off. They simply belong to be made with good butter and sugar. Every year, it is a tradition that my mother gets to work with the waffle iron on New Year's Eve. And then with a quadruple recipe, because before the party starts, she first has to visit four addresses that are eager for the well-known stacks of butter waffles.

“Mom, just double that recipe one more time.”

Ingredients:

– waffle iron

– 500 grams spelt flour

– 250 grams butter

– 250 grams sugar

– seeds from 1 vanilla pod

- 1 egg

Preparation:

– Put all the ingredients in a food processor and mix until a large ball forms.

– Wrap the dough in a piece of plastic wrap and let it rest for an hour in the refrigerator.

– Roll them into balls (about the size of a golf ball).

– Grease the waffle iron with butter and bake the waffles until golden brown.

Well, whether I did the right thing by posting this recipe here... Because you understand that I can't show up at the editorial office empty-handed on Monday.

Mom, just double that recipe one more time.
