Beetroot waffles
3 servings
90 minutes
Beet waffles are an original and refined dish of Russian cuisine, combining the sweetness of baked beets with the tartness of raspberries and the tenderness of vanilla. This recipe is a play of flavors and textures: light airy waffles with velvety softness, a slightly crispy crust, and the natural sweetness of the root vegetable. Historically, beets hold an important place in Russian gastronomy, but in such an unusual form, they take on a completely new character. They can be served with yogurt or whipped cream, complemented by fresh berries – an ideal option for a morning treat or a light dessert. These waffles not only delight the taste but also surprise with their aesthetics: the rich ruby hue makes them an exquisite table decoration.
