Classic Waffles with Nutella Sauce

Apologies for the extremely long and unprecedented hiatus from this blog.

No, I had not dropped off the face of the earth.

No, I hadn’t forgotten about this blog.

And no, I had not gotten kidnapped by a mafia gang and gotten locked in a basement in exchange of their demands for texting dogs. (On a completely unrelated note, how hilarious is this tumblr page. I’m completely addicted.)

I simply was engulfed in my last ever submissions and exams for my engineering degree. Now that its all done and dusted, *gets up and dusts the dust off her shoulders*, its a brand new day. Lets get on with some breakfast, shall we?

Classic Waffles with Nutella Sauce

Serves : 4 hungry people
Difficulty : A tad bit tricky but not really, no.
Preparation Time : 10 minutes.
Cook Time :10 minutes

Ingredients

For the Waffles 

• 1 cups flour
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 2 eggs, separated
• 1/8 cup sugar
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 1 cup milk

For the Nutella Sauce

• 1/2 cup nutella
• 1/3 cup milk

Gather all them necessities for the waffles.

Preheat your waffle iron.

Sift together the flour and the baking powder. Keep aside.

In a bowl, drop in the two egg yolks and the sugar.

Is it just me, or does this look like an owl?

Anyway, moving on. Whisk the yolks and the sugar together to form a pale yellow mixture.

Meanwhile, admire the big hunk of butter in a bowl. Silently say a little prayer thanking the universe for its existence.

Then pop it in the microwave, and melt that butter.

Once the heavenly golden liquid has been achieved, add it into our pale yolk and sugar mixutre. Whisk.

Now, splash in the milk.

Whisk!

Once whisked to an even paler mixture, add in the flour+baking powder.

And fold it in.

Once this is done, keep this bowl aside.

In another bowl, add in the two egg whites.

Take out your mixer, put on your brave soldier face, and start beating. In about 3-5 minutes, soft peaks will begin to form.

Is something seriously wrong with me, or do you also see an owl face in this?

So now, we gently add these egg whites into the earlier mixture and fold it in.

Pour in this batter into the waffle iron.

While we wait for the waffles to achieve their golden crispy deliciousness,  we get working on our Nutella Sauce.

It is as simple as, Nutella jar meet milk. Milk meet Nutella Jar.

Heat the milk slightly. Not boiling, just warm. Microwave or over the flame. Whatever works for you.

Scoop in the Nutella.

And mix till combined. Voila!

In a few minutes (exact time depends to your waffle iron), your waffles will be ready and delicious.

Slice up some bananas, chop up some berries for company.

Plate them up, drizzle on the nutella sauce.

Does this look like a happy breakfast or what?

For the ones who like to keep things simple, a simple drizzle of honey and a small knob of butter goes miles too.

But personally, I need me some Nutella fix.

As Pinterest help me realise, happiness is indeed homemade.

So don’t let that weekend morning go to waste, whip up a happy breakfast and have a cheerful start to your new day!
