Beer waffles are a deicious classic. So let’s try t makkoli waffles.
The idea was great. The Korean rice wine brings flavor, milkiness and lighten the batter. They were very fluffy inside, crispy around. I’ll do that again.
The batter is very simple. Makkoli is the liquid. Zest of konatsu pomelo brings a zingy hint.
With jasmine tea. Eat while they are hot. Make another batch…
Simple waffles with 2 yellow twists.
You can see these bits in them. They are cubes of baked sweet potato.

The second ray of sunlight is a generous teaspoon of turmeric in the batter. Mix. Heat the waffle-maker. Cook. Prepare coffee.
Double sakura waffles. Both the waffle and its filling have a delicate cherry blossom flavor. It’s the perfect snack for the season. It’s very quickly made.
DIY sakura leaf powder : I’ve left rinsed pickled sakura leaves dry. Then I crushed them with my finger.
I mixed them with flour, baking powder, a little kurozato black sugar, soy milk. Cooked waffles.
Took out my sakura-an cream to garnish.
Cut into triangle sands.
Prepared my basket, with a thermos of sencha green tea. And I went to eat them at the nearby park… The wind froze me, I was glad to have tea to thaw me.
Today’s brunch : apple waffles, and kiwis.
Simple batter, flour, baking powder, black sugar, water. I’ve added seeds of cardamom and small dices of apple.
With fresh slices of kiwi.
Simple and delicious.
Colors and vitamins with season veggies.
This Kintoki red bean waffle (like this) is a bit broken. Well, it’s totally broken. It’s necessary to add some potato or corn starch as a binder. Not much, but the amount depends on the beans and these needed more than the small adzuki. It’s flavored with Chinese miso, turmeric, garlic, sesame and cubes of goya bitter squash.
With a sauce made of tomato, olive oil, cumin, spices, chili.
Finely grated raw kabocha pumpkin.
Steamed taasai greens. It’s called B. rapa var. narinosa in vegetable patch Latin. It’s spelled like that in Asian hieroglyphs : 搨菜. And in English ? No idea. Well, greens are always good to take. I got them for a song at the market.
More sliced goya.
