The Unique Potential of Waffle Balls

people have made waffles using the same technique for centuries. Typically made with flour, eggs, milk and butter, they begin as a batter poured into a waffle iron and heated until golden. The first known waffle recipe dates back to the late 14th century, but modernisation has since turned the waffle into an iconic treat enjoyed across the world. Waffle makers became a household staple in the 1900s, allowing more people to enjoy fresh waffles at home. With that popularity came innovation, and with innovation came the Sephra Plus Rotational Waffle Ball Baker. This machine offers a playful twist on the traditional square or circular waffle. Instead of producing one large waffle, it creates bite-sized waffle balls. For dessert parlours, cafés, caterers and fun food businesses, this format offers a distinctive menu staple with almost endless possibilities.

Which Chocolate should I Use in a Chocolate Fountain?

Not all chocolate is made for chocolate fountains. A lot of supermarket-bought chocolate bars taste good, but they do not always melt into the glossy, smooth consistency needed for a fountain. Many melt too thickly, flow unevenly, form lumps and eventually put strain on the motor. In some cases, the wrong chocolate can even clog the machine.This is why choosing the correct type of chocolate matters. For a fountain, you need chocolate with the right fat content, texture and flow. Cocoa butter helps chocolate melt more smoothly, but you also need to keep a rich, chocolatey flavour.The best choice or many customers is a blend made specifically for melting and fountain use. Sephra’s Fountain Ready Chocolate Flavoured Blend combines Belgian couverture with chocolate flavoured compound. It gives you the taste of Belgian chocolate while staying smooth, creamy and ready to flow.

Metal vs Wooden Crêpe Spreaders

There are a lot of factors to consider when making crêpes. The batter needs the correct consistency. The crêpe plate needs the right temperature. It also needs properly prepared with oil. One thing people often forget to consider is crêpe spreaders.

Catering businesses commonly use both metal and wooden crêpe spreaders. Each one has its own benefits, drawbacks and preferred uses. The best crêpe spreader for you will often depend on your experience level, your commercial setup and the type of crêpes you want to make.
