Preparation Steps
1
Melt the butter over low heat, then let it cool for a few minutes.
2
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, ground walnuts, and a pinch of salt to ensure the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
3
In another bowl, whisk the eggs, then add the milk and melted butter. Mix thoroughly.
4
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, and stir until smooth, creating a uniform batter.
5
Preheat your waffle iron and lightly grease it with butter or oil to prevent sticking.
6
Pour a portion of the batter onto the waffle iron, and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
7
Repeat the cooking process with the remaining batter, and keep the waffles warm until serving.
8
For the whipped cream, whip the heavy cream with the powdered sugar and vanilla sugar until stiff peaks form.
9
Melt the dark chocolate over a double boiler or on low heat, then drizzle it over the waffles as a decoration.
10
When serving, spread the waffles with whipped cream and decorate with chocolate stripes to mimic the classic Eszterházy cake pattern.
