    I have a sweet tooth so you might want to use half a tablespoon of icing sugar. Most recipes don't even use sugar.

    I found a pan and tried it out. And, to use a South African term, they are lekker

    Was that made with the recipe I posted? If it was, I'm glad you liked it. :content:

    It's a modern simplified recipe that's quick and easy. Older recipes can get a lot more complicated.

    Isn't Lekker also a Dutch word?

    Clause, I will take you up on the offer of the recipes, I still have a vintage pan as well as a modern one so keep yours.

    Next, Kransekake!

    They look perfect Phil. Good enough to eat. :)

    "Lekker" is almost identical to the Danish word as well.

    I like the stove you are using. Very appropriate. :) What is it that you have under the pan?

    Now that I look at your recipe, it is virtually the same as the one I used, also with buttermilk. I think it is close to the Belgian waffle recipes.
    I bought the cast iron pan new for about 20 euro at a baking supplies shop. I love cooking on that Primus stove. Bacon and eggs on a weekend morning in a cast iron pan. I have another 535 and also two 523's.
    The device under the pan is a heat diffuser plate. Very useful for spreading the heat evenly and for simmering.

    They sure look very lekker!!! Last year I bought some old cast cooking ware, one of the items being a similar whatever-you-call-it! I cleaned it and re-treated it but so far never tried it out. Now, I'll have to! :lol: What recipe did you use?

    Best regards,

    Wim

    Try HighlandDwellers recipe earlier in this thread. I suspect you can use any waffle recipe batter. :-k I didn't add cardamom or cinnamon and not much sugar so that I could use a savoury (salty) filling and not only a sweet filling. Buttermilk and butter is a must. [-X

    I also would prefer old cast iron like Griswold, Lodge or Wagner but they are hard to find here :(
    I season my cast iron with coconut oil. It has a high smoke point and is healthier to cook, bake and fry with than other vegetable oils. You get the cold-pressed virgin oil which tastes like coconut and the refined oil which has no flavour. It turns into a white wax at below 23 degrees Celsius. :lol:

    Hi Phil, thanks for the tip on coconut oil, will try it! I also took note of HighlandDweller's recipe, all I need to buy is the buttermilk :D/ . I'll have to try it indoors, on the gas range as it is to cold outside... ;)

    Best regards,

    Wim

    I didn't mention that it needs to be a large egg, but two small ones will do.

    It would be interesting to see your recipe Phil.
