Gaufre à la bière, glace Plombières – Beer waffle and retro ice-cream

Carnival mood… des gaufres ! Waffles.

Beer waffles, lighter, fluffier, brownier… That depends on your iron. The small Japanese ones, with 120 volts are, not the same. The waffles don’t expend as much as I wish, whatever the 50+ recipes I have tried. They are too thin. Well, I’m still glad to have some.

But Kirin beer, cane sugar and a little kurozato (black sugar) makes them crispy and delicious.
