Hey there!!
So yes, today is back-to-school day… You’re already exhausted in advance, and I totally get it!! You need something fun, uplifting, comforting—something that takes you far away from notebooks, backpacks, and the dreaded “Mom, will I pass my preschool year??” worries.
Christophe Felder’s waffles!!! Yes!! You need waffles!!
You might give one or two to your kids because you’re nice… but only because you’re nice. ?
Christophe Felder is one of my pastry heroes, as you know, and his waffles are absolutely perfect! Even with a basic waffle iron, they turn out delicious—crispy on the outside, soft on the inside! No need to try other recipes—this one is a total game-changer! Topped with sugar, honey, chocolate spread, melted chocolate… Oh la la!! My mouth is watering!!
Alright, let’s go! Send the kids outside to play (it’s still nice out—let them enjoy it!) and let’s make some waffles…
To get perfectly cooked, golden, crispy waffles, I highly recommend investing in a good-quality waffle iron. It really makes a big difference (I’ve tested it!). I personally use a Lagrange and I’m very happy with it.
And if you’re looking for more waffle recipes, here are some I’ve already shared on the blog:
- Savory waffles with smoked salmon

Essential tools:
– A mixing bowl
– A good whisk
– A ladle (to pour the batter)
– And, of course, a waffle iron!
Alright, I think that’s everything. Ready to make my Christophe Felder waffles? Let’s put on our aprons and get started!
The recipe, Chef!

Loading...Ingredients
- 250 g flour

- 30 g sugar
- 60 g butter
- 150 g milk
- 15g fresh yeast or 2 bags of dried active yeast
- 100g thick cream or 10 cl liquid cream
- A bit of salt
- 1 teaspoon of rhum or Kirsch
Instructions
Pour the flour in a large bowl (your batter with grow, you need a large volume).
Melt gently the butter (in a pan or with your microwave oven, don't boil it).
Mix the yeast with warm milk (approx 40 degrees) until you get an homogeneous mixture.
Beat the eggs, add the vanilla seeds, the sugar, the salt.
Pour le milk and yeast on top of the flour and mix. Add the eggs/vanilla/sugar/salt and mix.
Add the cream and mix again until you get an homogeneous mixture.
Add the melted butter then the rhum or Kirsch.
Cover your bowl with a linen and let your batter grow in a rather warm place for at least 1h30. (I use my bathroom ! warm and slightly humid ...)
The batter should grow significantly and show little air bubbles on the surface.
Heat your waffle machine.
When it's warm enough, add some oil on your waffle iron. Then pour a ladle of pastry , spread it and bake it !
It's ready ! Enjoy !
