Belgian Waffles

Blogging Marathon #26Theme: Kid's Delight - Street Food

When I was a child, street food in NY basically consisted of three options. Hot Dogstands that sold frankfurters, hot sausages, knish (German potato stuffed pastries) andpretzels were on every street corner. In the summertime, ice cream trucks joined themand in the wintertime, vendors selling roasted nuts joined them.

In the last 10 years, their biggest competition have come from Halal carts. Halal cartsnow outnumber the Hot Dog carts. Halal carts sell chicken or lamb platters with rice andsalad, as well as gyros and for the Vegetarians, falafel. Now, they have incorporatedAmerican food into their options so you can just as easily get a burger and fries from aHalal cart.

In the last few years, every immigrant group is now represented in the street foodavailable in NY - we have Indian food carts, Korean and Peruvian, just to name a few. Waffle Trucks, Yogurt Trucks and so much more now add to the cultural landscape ofNew York City. The variety of street food is now so abundant that for the last 8 years,the Vendy Awards have been awarded to the best street food vendors. You don't have tocook in a fancy Michelin star restaurant to now get recognition for delicious food. The2012 awards included a Mexican as well as a Filipino food cart. To keep your hand on thepulse of this emerging genre of culinary dining, take a look at this. In 2013, five otherAmerican cities will be joining NY in providing Vendy Awards.

I was so happy to pick up this week's BM theme of celebrating delicious Street Food. Wafels & Dinges is a street food vendor with 3 carts located throughout Manhattan. They provide waffles with both savory and sweet toppings - everything from chili concarne to chocolate dipped waffles. Here's my version of a waffle with all the trimmings,in the vein of Wafels & Dinges.

I make waffles often as demonstrated by these links:

Banana Cornmeal WafflesCarrot Waffles (eggless)Peach Waffles (eggless)Savory Waffles

However, what most Americans call Belgian waffles are not available in Belgium. American style waffles use baking powder as the leavening agent for an instant riseproduct. In Belgium, there are a few different types of waffles and the Brussels wafflesare what most resembles the ones we have here in America, except a yeast risen batteris utilized. This time I tried a traditional Brussel style waffle recipe adapted from KingArthur.

Belgian WafflesServes 7 Ingredients:1 1/2 cups lukewarm milk6 tablespoons butter, melted1/2 teaspoon salt2 teaspoon sugar2 eggs1 teaspoon vanilla extract2 cups all purpose flour1 1/2 teaspoon dry active yeast1/2 cup milk

In a bowl, combine lukewarm milk, butter, salt, eggs and vanilla extract. Stir to mix well.Add flour and yeast and stir to mix.

Cover with plastic wrap and leave at room temperature for 1 hour.You can cook now or leave in the refrigerator overnight. I left it in the refrigerator andyou should see air bubbles from the batter fermenting. After the fermentation process,the batter thickens quite a bit and it was closer to bread dough than batter.Add remaining milk and stir well. (original recipe did not include this additional milk)

Heat a waffle iron and spray well with non stick spray. Pour in 3/4 cup batter (I have an8-inch round waffle iron) and cook until well done; about 5 minutes.Repeat until all the batter is used.

While American style waffles are more cake-like, theseare more bread-like, leading to a crispier texture. Thevanilla flavor was really strong because of the battersitting overnight, which led to a bigger flavor than theAmerican style waffles. I am now a convert and will bemaking these whenever waffles are on the menu.

Now let's dress up the waffles with the toppingsavailable from the street food cart!

Toppings:maple syrup

nutellabananas, slicedstrawberries, slicedroasted walnuts, choppedpowdered sugar

To serve, place 1/2 of 1 round waffle on a plate. Add all of the toppings and serve.
