    "I'm making egg liqueur waffles! Do you want some?" me as I yell outside at 2:30 p.m. to Jason painting the exterior of our new house. "Erm.. isn't that a morning thing?"

    Maybe in America, but growing up in Germany, I never had waffles for breakfast. Waffeln mit Sahne (and usually hot cherries) was always an afternoon treat to eat for Kaffee und Kuchen (the German coffee and cake break in the afternoon, typically at the very least observed on Sundays). And typically all my family has a heart-shaped waffle maker, so of course I had registered for one for our wedding that we ended up receiving as a gift! That's a must for me!

    One thing after moving to the US that I noticed is how frequent Americans ate a sweet breakfast: pancakes with syrup, waffles with more syrup, cereal and French Toast are all too common here (although I do love me a good Pfannkuchen for Frühstück filled with jam and sprinkled with some powdered sugar!). In Germany, most Frühstück consisted of fresh baked grain-studded rolls with sliced meats and cheeses, a Frühstücksei (soft boiled egg) and some fresh fruit with yogurt or quark. Oh how I miss it! Waffles were reserved as a special treat for the afternoon.

    No offense though! I would very much love these Eierlikörwaffeln for a nice brunch! They're really delicious at any time of day! The all-natural Eierlikör by Verpoorten (Germany's most famous egg liqueur) is made from the freshest eggs and adds a rich, deep flavor that I love so much. Check here for availability of Verpoorten in your area.

    The alcohol (20%) mostly disappears during the baking, but if you're playing it super safe, I would advise against serving these to kids. If you would like, you can also add Eierlikör into the chocolate chip whipped cream after it's done whipping - so good! Serve with some cornstarch thickened Schattenmorellen (dark morello cherries) if you would like! So good! Guten Appetit!

    Hallo! I'm Sophie Sadler, cookbook author of 'The German Home Kitchen', coming this September, and German food blogger at dirndl kitchen since 2015. I am so happy you’re here! 🥨

    I moved from Trier, Germany to the U.S. in 2009 and soon terribly missed the flavors of home. Crusty German bread, flaky pastries, afternoon Kaffee & Kuchen, and, of course, Döner Kebab and pretzels! So, I started sharing my love for German food and traditions with fun, easy-to-follow recipes. Stay a while, bookmark some recipes, and let’s cook together!
