Instructions

1. Mix the flour and baking powder in a bowl and set aside.
2. Separate the eggs in another bowl and beat the egg white with a pinch of salt until stiff. Put in a cool place.
3. In another bowl, beat the soft but not runny butter with the sugar and the grated lemon zest for a good 3 minutes on the highest setting until finely creamy. Now gradually add the egg yolks. Beat each egg yolk for at least 30 seconds so that everything can combine well.
4. When this is done, add the next egg yolk first.
5. Now add the creme fraiche and the milk and beat briefly on the lowest setting.
6. Sift the flour mixture over it and fold in well.
7. Mix everything well until the whole thing has blended well and there are no more lumps.
8. Finally, carefully fold in the egg whites.
9. The dough should not be too thick or too runny at the end.
10. If this is not the case, add a little more soda or some flour.
11. After all the ingredients have been mixed together, cover the bowl and let the dough rest in a warm place for a good 30 minutes.
12. Brush the heated waffle iron with a little oil and pour in some batter.
13. After about 2 minutes of baking time (depends on the device, so please be careful and check if necessary) carefully remove the waffles.
14. Brush the waffle iron again with oil and pour in some batter again.
15. Sprinkle the finished waffles with sugar and cinnamon as desired or serve with applesauce.
16. The creme fraiche gives them a special touch and they are not too sweet either.
17. But if you like it sweeter, you can add more sugar or sprinkle the finished waffles with icing sugar.
