This private collection of everything and anything related to baking, pastry making, confectionary and ice cream is on the lower floor of the Puratos Headquarters and it was a fascinating visit to say the least. Here are but a few of the curiosities.
Hand milling.
Flour sack.
Artofex mixer, a two-armed mixer that replicates the gentler action of hand kneading.
For some perspective on size, that’s my hat next to it. It’s a baby compared to the giant versions I have seen so far.
Like people, waffles come in all shapes and sizes.
A Belgian must-have: specialized waffle stove. Anyone starting to get that “I could really go a waffle right now” feeling?
I knew you would feel that way, here’s a recipe, helpfully inscribed in the waffle iron on the stove top. I’m not going to do all the work for you, however I will help you along the way by noting the recipe is in German. Let me know how you go!
And if it’s a waffle in the Belgian right hand, it’s a speculoos (spiced stamped biscuit) in the left.
A small museum but what treasures.
