Pretty In Pink Mother’s Day Breakfast
May 11, 2009
Mother’s day was on sunday, and there’s no better way to treat someone you love with a wonderful and colourful breakfast . I had fresh organic strawberries and some Haiti vanilla beans, so i thought they would make a perfect compote to serve with fluffy made from scratch waffles.
Waffles (makes 5 servings)
1 and 3/4 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
3 beaten egg yolks
1 and 3/4 cups milk
3 egg whites – beaten stiffly
1 pinch of salt
Mix very well the egg yolks with flour, salt, baking powder and milk. Fold in the egg whites very gently. Cook in the waffles iron about 3-4 minutes.
Strawberry compote
2 cups of diced strawberries
4 tbsps of sugar
half vanilla bean
1/4 cup of freshly squezeed orange juice
Put in a pan the strawberries, the sugar, the orange juice and the vanilla bean split in half. Put over medium heat and allow it to cook 8 to 10 minutes from boiling point.
Serve the waffles with warm compote and a spponful of fresh whipped cream if you like it. Enjoy!
