crispy golden waffles, salted caramel butter |

Preparation time: 15 min

Preheat your Gaufrier at 400 °F

• Waffle batter

  Heat the cream and milk until luke warm, then add the yeast.  In a mixing bowl, pass the flour through a tamis (sieve). Add the egg yolks to the flour and mix with a whisk until you start to form small clumps.  Slowly add the mixture of milk, cream and yeast, then mix until nice and smooth.

  Beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until they form soft peaks. Gently incorporate the whites to the other mixing bowl, folding it in with a spatula until it has the same texture as a pancake mix. Let the mixture rest at room temperature for roughly 2 hours.

• To cook the waffles

  Pre-heat the waffle cooker and spray with oil or brush with melted butter.  Cook the waffles until nice and golden on the outside (4-5 minutes depending on your waffle iron). If the batter isn't cooked sufficiently it will stick to the iron. Finish your waffle by sprinkling it with some icing sugar and garnish it to your taste.

• Caramel

  In a saucepan, dry-cook the sugar until it takes on a blond color. Add the butter and mix. Add the hot cream, whisk and bring to the boil for about 2 minutes, until the preparation is smooth and homogeneous. Ideally, pass the sauce through a strainer.

• On the plate

  Place the waffle on a plate, with a tablespoon, drizzle the caramel sauce over the entire surface, drop here and there crispy chocolate balls.
