Welcome to the kitchen and introduce the recipe for Swedish waffles.

Combine room temperature water and milk in a bowl.

Add fresh yeast to the water and milk mixture and stir to distribute evenly.

In a separate bowl, combine salt, sugar, and all-purpose flour, whisking to remove lumps.

Add melted butter to the dry ingredients and mix well.

Cover the batter and let it sit overnight in the fridge to activate the yeast.

For the three-star waffles, combine milk, cream, and sparkling water in a bowl.

Sift in the tapioca flour and other dry ingredients to prevent lumps.

Add melted butter and vanilla sugar (or extract) to the mixture and stir until combined.

Refrigerate the three-star batter for at least two hours or overnight for best results.

Crack two eggs into the bowl with the grandmother's waffle batter and add a quarter teaspoon of baking soda, mixing well.

Preheat the waffle iron and grease it with butter.

Ladle the batter onto the preheated waffle iron and cook until crispy.

Remove the waffle and repeat with the remaining batter, noting that the first waffle may not be perfect.

Serve the waffles warm, discussing the differences between the two recipes, highlighting the texture and flavor of each.
