CRISPY WAFFLE WITH CINNAMON AND FOREST FRUIT

Last time when we went to the seaside in Skegness we ate a lovely, crispy waffle.
It was not simply delicious, but it was so perfect  like in my childhood  at Lake Balaton during the summer.   I decided immediately I had to buy a waffle maker to be able to bake  at home a similar good one to my boys, too.
So I ordered a waffle maker on the net and a few days later I got it. I received a recipe book with the maker so I tried the enclosed recipe. Oh my God, it was horrible.... It wasn't crispy, it had no texture. It was just nothing.... So I began to search the best recipe obsessively and I made waffle every day... Every single day..  Can You imagine my boys's face on the 7th day?    One week later I presented the ever best waffle but by that time my family went mad if they saw waffle again on the table....  Since then waffle maker is somewhere on a deeply hidden shelf, and I just wait for the time when my boys come to me to beg some waffle.... Yes, I 'm a bit hurt.
Anyway, believe me this waffle is amazing: crispy outside and soft inside. I tried the recipes with yeast, and a lot of butter, and so, but I found that corn starch is the key point to be so crispy as desired.



Ingredients:

3 eggs lightly beaten
170 ml whole milk
130 gr plain flour
100 gr corn starch
3 0 gr sugar
100 gr butter 
pinch of salt
2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

for the fruit sauce:
250 gr frozen forest fruits
2 tbsp sugar

Melt the butter in microwave oven. Place flour, starch, sugar, salt, cinnamon in a bowl. Add the eggs, and mix with a whisk. Gradually add the milk and stir well. The batter will be a bit thicker than a usual pancake batter, and will be stickier as well. 
Preheat waffle maker on a high grade. When it's hot enough put one or two tablespoon batter in the maker. Bake until golden brown. 
Place to a wire rack and then leave to cool. Don't place them on the top of each, otherwise they will collapse. 
Meanwhile put the fruits and sugar into a pan. Heat on medium, and boil for 1- 2 minutes. Set aside and leave to cool. 
Serve with waffle and decorate with some whipped cream as well.
