Pour the flour into a mixing bowl and add the salt, yeast and eggs.
Beat with a whisk to incorporate the liquid. Add the butter that
you have melted and left to cool. Whisk until the batter is com-
pletely uniform. Leave to stand for 30 to 60 minutes.
Prepare the fromage blanc mixture during this time.
Whip the fromage blanc until it has a nice, smooth texture that is
not too dry (add a little whey as needed).
Add the mustard, lemon juice, salt and pepper and minced dill.
Cook the waffles only immediately before serving so they do not
go soft.
Cover them with the fromage blanc sauce and a piece of salmon
and serve as an appetizer with a mesclun salad.
You may also cut the waffles in halves or quarters to serve as hors
d'œuvre.
We recommend using a

waffle iron to make sure your
waffles are soft and scrumptious inside and pleasantly crispy outside!
