Eierlikorwaffeln Egg Liqueur Waffles Recipe

I absolutely love this recipe because it effortlessly combines the richness of Eierlikör with the comfort of a warm, crispy waffle, making every bite feel like a cozy hug. Plus, it’s the perfect excuse to indulge a bit and show off my culinary skills at brunch with friends!

I adore making these special Eierlikorwaffeln, where the creamy smoothness of egg liqueur meets the classic way of making waffles. My recipe brings together 250g of all-purpose flour, 125ml of egg liqueur, and 3 large eggs, and that clearly delightful combination is enhanced by 125g of melted butter.

Ingredients

Providing structure and being rich in carbohydrates, 250 g of all-purpose flour.

1 tbsp baking powder: Makes waffles fluffy and light; leavening agent.

Granulated sugar, 80 g: Provides sweetness and balances flavors.

One packet of vanilla sugar: Contributes fragrant sweetness; vanilla extract may be substituted.

3 large eggs: Protein source; contributes richness and moisture.

125 ml egg liqueur: Imparts a one-of-a-kind taste; contributes to lush creaminess.

125 ml milk: Provides moisture; assists in achieving the desired batter consistency.

125 g butter, unsalted: Contributes to richness; boosts flavor and texture.

Ingredient Quantities

• 250 g all-purpose flour
• 1 tbsp baking powder
• 80 g granulated sugar
• 1 packet vanilla sugar (or 1 tsp vanilla extract)
• 3 large eggs
• 125 ml egg liqueur (Eierlikör)
• 125 ml milk
• 125 g unsalted butter, melted
• A pinch of salt
• Powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)

Instructions

1. In a big mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, granulated sugar, vanilla sugar (or vanilla extract), and a pinch of salt and whisk them together until combined.

2. In another bowl, beat the eggs and then add the egg liqueur, milk, and melted unsalted butter. Combine until the ingredients smoothly blend together.

3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ones, mixing continuously until the batter is smooth. Be careful not to overmix; when working with gluten-free flour, this is especially important.

4. Set your waffle iron to the proper temperature according to the manufacturer’s directions.

5. Once the waffle iron is heated, lightly grease it if necessary to stop the batter from sticking.

6. Place a quantity of the batter into the waffle iron’s center; do not overfill. Close the lid.

7. For 3-5 minutes, cook the waffles; they should be golden brown and crisp when served. Your cooking time may vary, depending on what makes your waffle iron tick.

8. Take the waffle out of the iron and put it on a plate. Do the same with the rest of the batter.

9. If one desires, the warm waffles can be dusted with powdered sugar, adding an extra touch of sweetness.

10. The Eierlikör waffles should be served right away, and while good on their own, they really shine when you help them out with some toppings. Here is a list of some of my favorites:

Substitutions and Variations

250 g all-purpose flour: Substitute with 250 g whole wheat flour for a nuttier flavor.
1 packet vanilla sugar (or 1 tsp vanilla extract): Replace with the same amount of almond extract for an entirely different smell.
125 ml egg liqueur (Eierlikör): Substitute with 125 ml Baileys Irish Cream for a creamier taste.
125 ml milk: Replace with 125 ml almond milk for a dairy-free alternative.
125 g unsalted butter, melted: Substitute with 125 g coconut oil for a lactose-free alternative.

Pro Tips

1. Ingredient Temperature Ensure all liquid ingredients (eggs, milk, and melted butter) are at room temperature. This will help to create a smoother batter and ensure more even cooking.

2. Butter Cooling Let the melted butter cool slightly before mixing it into the egg and milk mixture. This prevents the eggs from cooking prematurely due to the hot butter.

3. Waffle Iron Preheating Always allow your waffle iron to preheat completely before adding the batter. This ensures that the waffles will cook evenly and achieve a nice crisp texture.

4. Mixing Technique Stir the wet and dry ingredients just until combined and a few lumps remain. Overmixing can lead to tough waffles because it develops the gluten too much.

5. Cooling Rack Place cooked waffles on a cooling rack instead of stacking them directly on a plate. This prevents them from becoming soggy and helps maintain their crispness.
