He may be a dad with a receding hairline, a pot belly and at times drive us all up the wall but to me he will always be adik to me.
A week ago I asked what would he liked for a birthday cake, his answer was surprisingly fast and simple. Shrugging his shoulders and making a face (that's normal for him) he replied that he didn't want one. He rather go out somewhere to eat.
Hearing his flippant answer I had mixed feelings, happy - I didn't have to bake a cake and disappointed - there were several recipes that I wanted to try out and didn't get a chance to.
But then today, after giving him his present I got him 2 pairs of boxers - underwear are always useful and in need, ok!
I decided to make waffles as a kinda birthday brunch for him.
Had a waffle recipe that was screaming to tried, so I made a batch and everyone had a good and filling meal, needless to say we skipped lunch that day... Oh, the birthday meal we had later that same evening at a Yemeni and Arabic food restaurant, Qasar Saba.
Tak sempat ambil gambar as everyone was busy sampling each others' plates of food. Overall it was a very good makan day!!
It is another recipe, a crispy one that has yeast!
Thank you so much to Hidayah for the recipe.
** panaskan waffle machine dulu!
Waffles
4 cups flour
2 eggs
1 cup milk (I added another 2 cups)
1 Tbsp sugar
1 tsp salt
2 Tbsp melted butter (I used sunflower oil)
1 tsp dried yeast
Method
Using a hand whisk mix all ingredients in a bowl. Gently mix all until forms a smooth batter.
Ladle the batter onto the waffle machine and wait for it to cook.
Some recipe call for the batter to rest for a bit, but not this one. By the way if you see frothy bubbles on the surface, don't panic. It is just the yeast tengah aktif!
Go slow on the liquid, as the batter might get too runny.
Happy Baking.
