Smoked salmon waffles are a very easy and yummy idea for an alternative lunch. What makes these waffles different from any other recipe is that we actually used Belgian waffles.
0.5teaspoonsVanilla extract We used vanilla-flavoured sugarso we reduced the amount
Topping
600gramsCold smoked salmon or gravlax
400gramsSmetana or crème fraîche
1Lemon
Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat the waffle iron
Waffle batter
Whisk dry ingredients together: flour, salt, baking powder, and sugar
In a different bowl beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form
Whisk the liquid ingredients (oil, milk, egg yolk), adding the extract of vanilla
Pour the liquid ingredients into the bowl of the dry ones and keep whisking
Add the beaten egg to the batter
Pour gently the batter onto the waffle iron and cook for three minutes each waffle
Smoked salmon topping
Prepare the ingredients. Cut the lemon into slices, prepare the salmon by separating the slices, and take out smetana and pepper.
Once the waffles are ready, serve them on a table, adding one / two slices of smoked salmon and half a slice of lemon on the top. Add a spoonful of smetana on the salmon or on the side. Sprinkle some black pepper on top.
Notes
When preheating the iron, using an oil spray would be the best solution. We just poured some vegetable oil and spread it on the surface with a paper towel.
Gravlax is very similar to cold smoked salmon except that it is only cured with salt, and thus missing the smoky flavour of cold smoked salmon.
