Ingredients

Servings: 12
  • 100 g Butter
  • 1 Vanilla pod
  • 400 g Flour
  • 75 g Sugar
  • 1 pinch Salt
  • 175 ml Milk
  • 1 cube Yeast
  • 2 Eggs (size M)
  • 1 glass (720 ml) Morello cherries
  • 20 g Cornstarch
  • 1 package Vanillin sugar
  • 150 g Sugar crystals
  • 7-10 Tbsp Possible sugar crystals
  • 7-10 Tbsp Oil

Directions

  1. 1

    Melt the butter and let it cool down a little. Cut the vanilla pod lengthwise and scrape out the pulp. Mix flour, 50 g sugar and salt in a large bowl

  2. 2

    Warm the milk lukewarm. Take it off the stove, crumble yeast into it and dissolve it while stirring. Add the milk-yeast mixture, eggs and butter to the flour mixture and knead into a smooth dough with the dough hooks of the hand mixer. Cover the dough and let it rise in a warm place for about 50 minutes.

  3. 3

    Drain the cherries in a sieve, collecting the juice. Fill up the cherry juice with water to 1/2 litre. Take off 5 tablespoons and stir with starch until smooth. Bring the remaining liquid, 1 packet of vanillin sugar and 25 g sugar to the boil. Stir in the starch, bring to the boil and simmer for about 1 minute. Stir in cherries. Pour into a bowl and let cool

  4. 4

    Knead granulated sugar into the yeast dough. Preheat a rectangular waffle iron and spread thinly with oil. Bake approx. 12 golden brown waffles from 2 tbsp. of dough at medium heat. Clean the waffle iron from time to time, as the sugar crystals caramelise. Sprinkle the waffles with some sugar crystals if necessary. Add the stewed cherries
