Farm: February 2009 Archives

My Silver Appleyard ducks are starting to lay eggs.

Lots of eggs! They are fabulous to cook with.

Saturday for supper we had Duck Egg Belgian Waffles.

3 duck eggs

Separated. Look at those rich orangey yolks.

1 1/2 cups milk
5 tbsp butter
3 duck eggs yolks

Beat well.

2 cups of flour
3 tsp baking powder
1 tbsp sugar
1/2 tsp salt

Sifted.

Add sifted ingredients to the wet mix

Put the duck egg whites into a clean bowl.

Beat until stiff.

Fold the beaten egg whites into the batter mix.

Take your time. You want to keep the air in the batter.

Using a 1/4 cup measure I pour the batter on to a hot waffle iron. Close the lid gentley.

A few minutes later I open the lid.

Add butter and syrup while piping hot.

Supper anyone?
