Tips and tricks from the chef:

To achieve this delicious fluffiness, we have a secret ingredient: sparkling water! Yes, combined with milk, it works wonders to create that airy texture we all love. Your taste buds will thank you for this ingenious addition.

Here’s an essential tip: don’t rush to put your dough in the fridge! We want the yeast to come to life and work its magic. So resist the temptation to refrigerate the dough. Instead, let it rest at room temperature, covered with a clean cloth. Believe me, it makes all the difference.

Speaking of crucial elements, the waffle iron itself plays an essential role. We learned this the hard way when my first purchase resulted in soft waffles. Fear not, because we have a recommendation for you: opt for a waffle iron with a power rating of at least 1,200 watts. That way, your waffles will be cooked to perfection and have an irresistible crispness.

But here’s the golden rule: your waffle iron must be hot before you pour the batter into it. This will ensure a beautiful golden color and a texture that’s crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

A final, often overlooked tip: never stack your waffles! Let them bask in their individual glory. Stacking traps heat and moisture, which unfortunately softens our beloved waffles. So let them breathe and retain their delicious texture.

The ingredients :

• 150 g T45 all-purpose flour
• 5 g baking powder
• Pinch fine salt
• 50 g melted butter
• 1 egg
• 5 cl Badoit (or other sparkling water)
• 5 cl semi-skimmed milk
• 200 g zucchini
• 100 g grated cheddar cheese
• A little butter for cooking each waffle

Directions for use:

• Mix the all-purpose flour and baking powder in a bowl. Create a small well in the center and pour in the pinch of fine salt, melted butter, egg, milk and Badoit. Mix well.
• Once mixed, cover the bowl with a tea towel or plastic film and leave the dough to rest for at least 1 hour at room temperature. This step is crucial to obtaining the perfect texture and flavor of the waffles.
• While the dough is resting, wash and grate your zucchini. To ensure the waffles have the right consistency, place the grated zucchinis in a clean tea towel, close the towel and squeeze out as much water as possible.
• Add the grated zucchinis and the tasty grated cheddar to the bowl of batter. Mix well to create a beautiful blend of flavors.
• Now let’s bring the magic to life! Preheat your waffle iron and place a dab of butter on the cooking surface. Pour in a generous amount of waffle batter, close the device and cook to perfection.
• Repeat this step until all the ingredients have been used up and you’ve got a delicious pile of golden, flavorful waffles, ready to enjoy!
• Now it’s time to start enjoying these delicious zucchini waffles with a touch of cheese. You’ll find yourself savoring every light, fluffy bite. Gather your friends and family, prepare these waffles together and enjoy the joy they bring to your taste buds!
