Can I freeze the vanilla waffles in the Belgian flag?

Can I make the vanilla waffles in the Belgian flag in advance?

Why does waffle batter need to rest for half an hour?

Letting the dough rest is crucial for the texture of your vanilla waffle. During resting, the gluten in the flour relax and the baking powder has time to do its work. This ensures that your waffles will be deliciously soft, springy, and airy after baking, instead of tough.

Stir butter and vanilla seeds into a soft cream with the honey, baking powder, and pinch of salt.

Now beat in the eggs until creamy, then add the flour and milk, mixing well but briefly until there are no lumps, let the dough rest for half an hour.

Divide the dough into 2 bowls, putting 1/3 more of the dough in one bowl, as there needs to be more yellow batter.

In the larger portion of batter, stir in the yellow coloring, and in the other, the red.

Heat the waffle iron not too hot, they should not brown too much so that they retain their colors nicely.

Place 1 spoonful of red batter and 2 spoonfuls of yellow batter in the waffle iron, bake all the dough this way, and let them cool.

Dip the yellow side in the chocolate and let it set for a moment.

Voila, you know when to start baking them, right? Go go go Red Devils!!
