Mise en place and Chocolate Waffle

This post titled in French but doesn't mean I speak French, i even don't know how to spell mise en place haha. Mise en place means 'get organized', i got this phrase from Joanne Chang 'Flour' Cookbook where the phrase is included in Joanne's top 12 baking tips. Btw Flour cookbook is one of my fav, i'll make review about it later.

Let's talk about my workflow today, i started with googling the recipe that i want to try, make the sketch for the photo, preparing the photo set, preparing the ingredients, cooking, styling based on my sketch, edit the photo, and the last one make the blogpost. Mise en place should to be applied while preparing the ingredients, i did it. I organized all the ingredients and tools needed, but one. I forgot the waffle iron HAH! Waffle wouldn't be called waffle without the waffle iron. And i just realized it when the batter ready,and I waste my 30 minutes until i found it. Mise en place is a really usefull tips, you can save your time if you get organized anything before start cooking right? hhee

Let's talk about the waffle, get ready because this is a really really really light and fluffy waffle, because the white eggs is whisked separately until soft peak, psst that's the secret.

The recipe originally from bonappetit dark chocolate waffle, but i make a lot tweaking here and there and halves the recipe hhee

enjoy your waffle! :)
