Crispy Yeasted Waffles with Salted Caramel Sauce

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Cakes and Desserts
This waffle follows the Belgian (Brussels) style: made with yeast instead of baking powder for a deeper, bread-like flavor and lighter structure. Soda water bubbles and whipped whites loosen the batter further, creating a crispy shell with an airy interior.

Instructions

1 ✓

Bloom yeast in warm milk with a pinch of sugar.

Tip: Yeast needs food (sugar) and warmth to wake up.
2 ✓

Mix flour, sugars, and salt. Add yolks, yeast milk, and melted butter. Whisk smooth.

Tip: Fat coats flour particles for tenderness.
3 ✓

Whip egg whites to stiff peaks. Fold into batter along with soda water.

Tip: Bubbles from soda and whites = extra air (physical leavening).
4 ✓

Let rise 45 mins in a warm spot.

Tip: Yeast creates gas, making the batter spongy.
5 ✓

Cook in a hot waffle iron.

Tip: Don't open until steam stops.
6 ✓

Make sauce: melt sugar to amber color, whisk in hot cream, simmer until smooth, finish with salt.

Tip: Cream must be hot or caramel will seize.
7 ✓

Serve waffle with sauce and nuts.

Tip: Sea salt flakes pop against the sweet caramel.

Recipe FAQ

Why is the waffle soft?
Cooking temp was too low; steam couldn't escape fast enough, steaming the dough instead of crisping it.
