Sour Cream Waffles

The most generous person I have ever met was my grandfather's older sister Helen. When I grew up she lived in the apartment next to ours, and I would love to visit after school. These are the super-generous sour cream waffles she made. They are the best they are straight out of the waffle iron - so eat them as you make them.

INGREDIENTS:

3 cups/7 ½ dl sour cream, or crème fraiche

1 cup/2 ½ dl water

3 tablespoons sugar

1 ½ teaspoon baking soda

⅔ pound/300 grams all purpose flour

Butter for frying

PREPARATION:

• Stir together sour cream and water.

• Mix all the other ingredients and sift gradually into the sour cream mixture while whisking. The aim is a thick batter. Leave to swell for at least 20 minutes.

• Heat the waffle iron, brush with butter and cook the waffles until golden brown and crispy.
