Hungarian Savory Waffles (Paprika, Sausage)
Hungarian flavors are famous worldwide: smoked sausage, paprika, and a spicy character evoke a sense of home in every bite. These waffles are not sweet, but savory and filling – perfect for a hearty breakfast or as a welcome appetizer. The meeting of a crispy exterior and soft interior, balanced by the richness of the sausage and the sweetness of the paprika, convinces everyone. The smoked paprika adds a deep, slightly spicy character that makes the flavor truly "Hungarian." Tip: If you want a more intense smokiness, you can also use smoked cheese as a supplement. Do not pre-cook the sausage, as the fat released in the waffle during baking adds extra flavor to the dough. When serving, avoid paprika stems or green parts - clean serving is key.

Preparation Steps
1
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and smoked Hungarian Sweet Paprika. This forms the base for the savory Hungarian flavor, giving the waffles a distinctive and vibrant character.
2
In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, then add the milk and melted butter. Whisk until smooth, then pour into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined, ensuring there are no lumps.
3
Slice the smoked sausage into thin rounds or small dice, and finely chop the bell pepper. It's important that the pieces are small, so they distribute evenly throughout the batter.
4
Gently fold the sausage and bell pepper into the batter. Let the mixture rest for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the batter to become lighter.
5
Preheat your waffle iron and lightly grease it with oil or butter. Ladle a portion of the batter onto the hot iron and cook for 4-5 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
6
Place the cooked waffles on a wire rack to prevent them from becoming soggy, then serve warm. Sour cream or a small side of pickles pairs well – be sure to avoid using any pepper or vegetable leaves for garnish.
