Malmedian folklore is also associated with culinary traditions. If the Russian salad allows partygoers to get back on their feet, there are also the famous Thursday waffles, intended to prepare us for the festivities. This Thursday, waffle irons overheated in homes but also in bakers. It deserved a tasting!
Oh how good it smells in the workshop Geoffrey Gilon, Chemin-Rue, it must be said that since early this morning, it has been fueled by waffle irons. Because tradition is pampered. ” The recipe is first of all good ingredients, good flour, butter, eggs, milk and know-how. The basic ingredients are the same for everyone, it is the implementation of each that certainly makes the difference from one baker to another “, confides this baker-pastry chef from Malmedia, who has been making waffles since well before dawn. With 8 waffle irons permanently, they maintain a rate, two in the workshop, of 200 waffles per hour. To this must be added the preparation of the “packages”, the sprinkling with impalpable sugar, while customers who have reserved a portion of fresh cream will find it separately.
But above all, Malmédians are just waiting for that, to taste these waffles reserved long in advance.
« The Malmédien is very attached to his traditions and therefore every Shrove Thursday he has his waffle in hand “, smiles Geoffrey, who will put the cover next Thursday, and the other Thursdays again, before the long weekend of Cwarmê. And there it will also be up to the Russian salad to do its job, to rekindle the partygoers with this culinary boost. (OT)
