Preparation
- Whisk the butter, sugar and vanilla sugar together until well combined.
- Stir in the eggs one at a time until the mixture is creamy.
- Mix the flour and baking powder and stir in alternately with the milk until you have a smooth, creamy batter.
- Preheat the waffle iron and brush it with butter.
- Ladle the batter into the iron in portions, close it and bake the waffles until golden. This makes about 8 waffles.
- Wash and chop the fruit. Dust the waffles with icing sugar and serve with the fruit.
