Ingredients
  • 4 eggs
  • 3 cups full fat milk
  • 4 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ cup melted unsalted butter( 1 stick)
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 4 cups all purpose flour
For the chocolate waffles
  • 2 tbsp cocoa powder
½ tsp almond extract to add to only Vanilla batter
FOR THE CUSTARD:
  • 1 cup full fat milk
  • ½ cup cream or you can substitute with milk
  • ¼ cup of condensed milk
  • pinch of salt
  • 2 egg yolks
Garnish
  • slivered almonds
  • crushed Pistachios
Maple syrup Cream Cheese
  • ½ cup Cream Cheese
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
Instructions
  1. In a mixing bowl add the eggs in it. Now add the sugar and mix it with a whip for 30 seconds. Add the milk, vanilla extract, melted butter, salt, baking powder and mix it well until incorporated. Mix in flour one cup at a time and mix. Don't over beat the batter. Add all the flour and mix.
  2. Now, divide the batter into two equal portions. In one, add the cocoa and mix, set aside. In the other, add the almond extract and set aside.
  3. Preheat the waffle iron. Brush the waffle iron with melted butter and pour a large ladle full of batter and cook for 3 minutes or until it's done. Don't let it brown too much or get it crisp. Take it out and put it on a cooling rack. Make all the waffles and set aside.
For the CUSTARD:
  1. In a heavy bottomed sauce pan, add the milk and cream and bring it to a slow simmer while stirring. Add the salt, condensed milk and simmer for a minute. In a bowl, add the egg yolks, add ½ cup of hot milk and mix very well. Now add the egg yolk mixture back to the milk and bring it to simmer for 3-4 minutes making sure to keep stirring. When the mixture coats the back of the spoon, it is ready. Remove from fire and set aside.
  2. Arrange the waffles in a baking dish nicely, and pour the custard over the toast. Add some almonds and bake it at 400 degrees for 10-15 minutes or until it is golden brown on top.
  3. Take it out and add some crushed pistachios.
  4. Stir together the cream cheese and maple syrup and serve with the french toast.
Notes
You could make the batters separately and add brown sugar for the chocolate batter.
You could also make pancakes out of this and lay them in the pan and pour the custard over it.
