Nut-waffles with vanilla cream/custard.

The following recipe is for about 12 waffles, so if you want lots of waffles use moar ingredients. just so you now. I'm also copying the recipe from a Belgian book, so everything is in metric, but the internet will help you with that.

===Tools===
Waffle Iron

===Ingrediënts:===

Waffles
*100 gr of butter (about half a stick i think)
*100 gr of sugar
*4 eggs
*100 gr of mixed grinded nuts, or regular mixed nuts wich you then crush mortar & pestle-wise. (i used 50% regular nuts wich had the usual euro-nuts like walnuts, hazelnuts etc. and 50% macadamia, but those can be hard to get and quite expensive)
*the juice and grated peel of one untreated orange (this is rather important because regular oranges contain all kinds of nasty chemicals and the peel has a rather unpleasant taste, the easiest is probably to check the organic isle in your supermarket)
*200 gr of flour
*1 teaspoon (says coffee spoon in my book but i guess it's the same really) of baking powder
*3 to 4 soup spoons (the kind you use to eat, not to pour soup in your plate) of cream or condensed milk

'''Vanilla cream''': (this is the recipe from the book, but you can make it anyway you like)

*1 egg
*50 gr of caster sugar
*35 gr of vanilla powder
*1 bag of vanilla sugar or 1 vanilla stick


===Method===


The vanilla cream/Custard/Pudding-thing.
it is recommended to make this first, so your pudding thing is erm... i'm trying to think of a non-sexual word but i can't think of any ...you'll figure it out.

Like it said before, I used the recipe from the book, but it's pretty hard to mess up pudding, so you can make any pudding you like, any way you like. Or if you don't like pudding, you can use any other kind of thing that goes with waffles, like whipped cream or chocolate or whatever.

-beat/stir the egg and the caster sugar till they are fluffy and add the vanilla powder, stir that too!

-boil the milk with the vanilla stick or the vanilla sugar, and when it boils add the mixture you made earlier.

-Stir powerfully until it becomes thick and difficult to stir

-turn off your fire and let it cool

'''Making the waffles''':

-grate the peel of the orange (basically, grate it until there is mainly white left, but don't get any white in your gratings) and squeeze the juice out of it.

-If you didn't buy grinded nuts, grind them now, they have to be pretty finely grinded but a few larger chunks are nice if you like that sort of thing.

-Soften the butter up (i use a microwave, but a few minutes under glass in the sun works too) and mix the sugar through it till it becomes a more or less fluffy mixture.

-Add the eggs one by one, followed by the orange juice, the grated peel, the nuts, the flower, the baking powder and the cream; not necessarily in that order.

-heat up your waffle iron and lightly smear it with butter or similar (this book was probably written before everything had tefal)

-bake your waffles till they are golden-brownish, place on a grill or similar and let them cool.

Serve with some of your earlier made pudding-cream. (i really have no idea what to call it)

NOM!
