Ingredients

  • 40 cl milk
  • 300 g flour
  • 2 eggs
  • 60 g butter
  • 1 sachet yeast
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 tsp. wakame per waffle
  • 6 slices cured ham
  • Mayonnaise (optional)
  • Red miso (optional)
  • Dried ham (optional)

Directions

  1. Cut 60g of butter and melt, then leave to cool slightly. Mix the flour (300g), baking powder and salt in a bowl. Make a well in the center, break in the eggs and start mixing.
  2. Add the warm melted butter and continue mixing the ingredients. Add the milk to the mixture and stir until smooth.
  3. Leave the dough to rest in a cool place for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
  4. Pour the dried wakame into a bowl and cover with lukewarm water. Allow to rehydrate for about 5 minutes, then drain carefully, pressing lightly to remove excess water. Chop finely if the pieces are too large. Then add the seaweed to the paste.
  5. To cook, heat the waffle iron. Grease with a little oil if necessary. Pour in a ladleful of batter and cook until golden-brown. Cooking time depends on the waffle iron, but allow around 1-2 minutes per side.
  6. To serve, you can accompany the waffles with cured ham and a mayonnaise sauce mixed with red miso.
