4 servings

Ingredients

• 10 g yeast
• 0.25 l sweet cream (lukewarm)
• 50 g sugar
• 6 pcs egg yolks
• 50 g butter (lukewarm)
• salt (a little)
• lemon zest (½ lemon) (a little)
• 2 tbsp rum
• 125 g flour

Instructions

1. Whisk yeast, lukewarm sweet cream, sugar, and egg yolks until very frothy.
2. Add lukewarm butter, salt, grated lemon zest, and rum, then mix with flour to create a rather soft dough.
3. Beat the dough for some time and let it rise in a warm place.
4. Bake the waffles in a waffle iron, filling with a spoon of dough without pressing it down.
5. Keep the first waffles warm as they are served warm.
6. Serve with coffee or tea, or as a main course, in which case they can be filled with jam or sauce and stacked.
