Combine the milk, rice, and sugar in a heavy pot and bring to a simmer over moderate heat, stirring occasionally. Add the cinnamon stick and vanilla bean and simmer covered – without stirring – over very low heat for 30 minutes.

Stir in the saffron and cook 1 minute, stirring to distribute the color of the saffron.

Discard the cinnamon and vanilla and cool to room temperature. Serve garnished with a sprinkle of brown sugar.

Serves 4 to 6.

  

Mix all the ingredients together and stir in 350 gram water. Allow the batter to rise for one hour.

Use two tablespoons or an ice-scoop spoon to make balls out of the batter and fry 7 minutes at 160 degrees C°. Turn them halfway if necessary. Serve with icing sugar.

  

Note: The secret to light and crispy Belgian waffles is folding in the egg whites. Throwing them in with the egg yolks will work, but you’ll get a heavier waffle.

Separate the eggs and place egg yolks in one bowl, and the whites in another. To the egg yolks, add the sour cream, milk, margarine and vanilla; Mix well. Add the flour, sugar and baking powder; mix well.

With an electric mixer, beat the egg whites until stiff. Fold into the batter with a spoon.

Bake on a hot waffle iron. Serve with maple syrup.

  

Sift flour with baking powder, salt and sugar. Beat egg yolks, add butter, starter and milk. Stir into flour mixture. Beat egg whites till stiff peaks form and then fold into batter. Spoon into preheated Belgian waffle iron, either well buttered or teflon. Bake about 5 minutes or until beautifully golden brown!

  

Dilute the yeast in a little warm water, and add some of the flour. Form a ball of dough by adding the rest of the flour, melted butter, spice, and salt. Dampen slightly with a little milk. Leave to rise for 2 hours, then add the sugar and leave to rise once more. Cook in a well greased waffle iron.

Preparation:
Mix the yeast with 800 g (28 oz.) of flour, the fine sugar, eggs and the milk and water. Leave to rise for 15 minutes, then add the butter, honey, the rest of the flour, salt, vanilla and bicarbanate of soda.

Mix to form a dough and leave to rise for 10 mins. Add the crushed loaf sugar, and divide into “patons” ( balls ), weighing from 90 to 140 g (3 to 5 oz.), depending on the size of the waffle iron.

Remarks: Yield depends on the waffle iron.

Soften butter until nearly melted, but not quite; cool. Beat eggs. Add sugar gradually. Add butter. Add flour a little at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition. Refrigerate dough several hours.

Cook on waffle iron until light golden brown (not too dark!). Use a heaping tablespoon of dough on each section of waffle iron grid, or use a larger “blob” of dough in center of iron. Separate sections when cooked.

Recipe can be doubled. Galettes keep well in a covered tin.

Yield: 1 batch
