Preparation Steps
1
Melt the butter in a small saucepan, then let it cool to room temperature.
2
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. This ensures that the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
3
In another bowl, whisk the eggs, then add the melted butter, vanilla extract, milk, orange juice, rum, and grated orange zest. The rum and orange juice give the waffles a cocktail-inspired flavor.
4
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, while stirring constantly. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the batter tough!
5
Preheat the waffle iron and lightly grease it with butter or oil to prevent the batter from sticking.
6
Pour a portion of batter onto the waffle iron and cook until golden brown, about 3-5 minutes. The time may vary depending on the iron's performance.
7
Remove the cooked waffle and let it cool slightly on a wire rack to keep it crispy.
8
Serve fresh, garnished with powdered sugar, whipped cream, and fresh fruits.
