Preparation Steps
1
Wash, pit, and chop the plums into small pieces. If using dried plums, soak them in lukewarm water for 10 minutes, then chop them.
2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt.
3
In another bowl, whisk the eggs, then add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
4
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk until you have a smooth, lump-free batter.
5
Gently fold in the chopped plums, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
6
Preheat your waffle iron to medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil.
7
Pour a portion of the batter into the center of the waffle iron (about one ladleful), then close the lid and cook until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes.
8
Once cooked, carefully remove the waffle with a spatula and place it on a wire rack to cool, ensuring it remains crispy on the outside.
9
Serve fresh with fresh plum slices, honey, or a dusting of powdered sugar.
