Savory waffles: ideal for lunchboxes or a sophisticated dinner
What basic recipe is suitable for savory waffles?
For savory waffles to turn out perfectly, it's important that the waffle batter is as unsweetened as possible. Instead of sugar, grated cheese and grated potatoes are often stirred in – both ingredients ensure that the waffles are nice and moist after baking and have a savory flavor. Of course, you can also make "neutral" waffle batter by adding just a small pinch of sugar instead of the usual amount. Buttermilk can easily be substituted for heavy cream.
For the waffles, mix buckwheat flour, a pinch of sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt in a bowl. Add buttermilk, cooled melted butter, and egg, and whisk until you have a smooth, liquid batter. Cover the batter and let it rest for 30 minutes.
Preheat the waffle iron and brush it lightly with oil. Pour 3-4 tablespoons of batter into the waffle iron for each waffle and bake 6 waffles until golden brown. Halve the eggs. Arrange the beetroot tartare on plates with 2 egg halves each, and serve with buckwheat waffles and dill butter.
How do you make savory waffles without eggs?
Ground flaxseeds and chia seeds have binding properties similar to eggs and work very well as a vegan alternative. To mix the egg substitute, combine 1 tablespoon of ground seeds with 3 tablespoons of water. This amount replaces 1 egg when baking.
Another alternative is egg replacement powder. One sachet replaces approximately 3 eggs. The powder is available in well-stocked supermarkets, drugstores, and health food stores.
