Warm Waffles Made with Ice Cold Water!

8 cups of flour
2 packages of dry yeast
4 eggs
1 cup of butter
2 tablespoons of white sugar
vanilla (in Belgium we use vanilla sugar, but a bit of extract will do the job)
1 tablespoon of Potato starch
3 cups of milk
2 cups of water
1 cup of ICE water
1 tablespoon oil


1. Dissolve the yeast in a bit of lukewarm water
2. put flour in a big container and add the yeast mixture
3. add the sugar, the vanilla,  and the egg yolks
4. put a pot on the stove and warm the milk and the 2 cups of water, let the butter melt in it
5. add this with the flour mix and stir well
6. let rise for about an hour in a warm place
7. whip the egg whites to snow
8. add the spoon of oil to the mixture
9. fold in the egg whites
10. heat your waffle maker
11. add the ice water to the dough
12. bake in hot waffle maker!

Working with the ice water, gives you a crispy waffle on the outside and soft on the inside.  Nice with fruit, butter, powder sugar and/or whipped cream!
