No time to reply to comments today, but this here, I think, is much more useful anyway:

Cinnamon waffles:

125 g butter
175 g sugar
3 eggs
350 g flour
half a small spoon of baking soda
300 ml milk
2 small spoons of cinnamon

This should result in a very thick dough - thick enough to make 'ladling' it a bit of a challenge!

Put waffles on a cake grid for a moment before serving - this will make/keep them crispy.

Recipe will serve four not so hungry people, or two to three hungrier ones.

Plums in red wine:

Halve and de-pit the plums. (About fifteen plums? Depends on the intended plum-to-waffle ratio, really... You can also make some more, I suppose, and keep it for another occasion, although it won't keep all that long.) Put them in a small pot. Add red wine - enough to almost cover them. Add some cinnamon and cloves. Add sugar (to taste.) Heat; add some corn (or other) starch to bind.

How to bind a sauce with corn starch: dissolve, in this case, a small spoonful of starch in cold water and stir the mixture into your sauce. Heat to boiling for just a moment, then reduce the heat. In the case of the plums here, you don't really need to heat them much at all. (I think I had them on the stove for about five minutes total - but then, I have a gas stove, which makes for fast cooking.)

Serve with vanilla ice cream.

Enjoy!
