Rosewater Almond Waffles
Rosewater is one of the most delicate aromas in Middle Eastern and South Asian cuisines, often used in sweets, cakes, and drinks. The rich, silky flavor of almonds pairs perfectly with the scent of rose in this special waffle recipe. As the waffle begins to bake, the scent of rosewater elegantly fills the air, while the sliced almonds lightly toast on the hot griddle. This combination creates a festive atmosphere not only in taste but also in fragrance. Tip: Always add rosewater carefully - even a small amount is enough to give it a dominant aroma. If you want to further enhance the experience, you can sprinkle it lightly with powdered sugar before serving.

Preparation Steps
1
In a bowl, whisk together the flour, almond flour, baking powder, sugar, and a pinch of salt. This ensures an even texture and flavor for the waffles.
2
In another bowl, whisk the eggs, then add the milk, melted butter, and rosewater. Be careful not to use too much rosewater, as its aroma is intense.
3
Combine the wet and dry ingredients into a smooth, lump-free batter. Do not overmix; mix just until combined. Let it rest for 10 minutes.
4
Preheat your waffle iron and grease it with a little butter or cooking spray. Ladle in a portion of the batter, sprinkle the top with sliced almonds, and close the iron.
5
Cook until golden brown, about 4-5 minutes, until the waffle is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The almonds will turn slightly toasted, adding an even more intense flavor.
6
Cool the finished waffle slightly on a wire rack, then serve it plain or drizzled with a little honey. The rosewater and almond create an elegant, Middle Eastern flavor profile.
