Belgian Waffles (Gaufrettes) – Belgian Food Recipes

Recipe ingredients and directions:

4 1/2 c. all-purpose flour

1/2 c. granulated sugar

1 tsp. cinnamon

2 tsp. baking powder

3/4 lb. sweet butter, softened

4 eggs

2 tbsp. rum

Makes 3-4 dozen.

Sift the dry ingredients into a bowl. Make a well in the center

and put the softened butter, eggs and rum in well. Gradually mix

the flour into other ingredients. Let the mixture, which will be a

paste, stand at room temperature, uncovered, for 2 hours. Divide

into small balls the size of 2 tablespoons, and cook them in a

waffle iron. Cool on a rack and store as for cookies. (Note –

Belgians eat these like cookies instead of as a breakfast food).
