- flour – 300 g;
- eggs – 5 pcs;
- butter – 250 g;
- sugar – 280 g;
- vanillin – 1.5 g.
Preparation
- As usual, all the ingredients for making waffles in a Soviet waffle maker should be prepared in advance. The butter should be soft. The flour should be sifted through a fine sieve.
- In a deep bowl, where we will knead the dough, we break the eggs. The eggs should be cracked one by one, carefully checking that none of them is not fresh. Using a whisk, we beat the eggs. It is not necessary to beat the eggs to a foam; we just need to combine them.
- To the beaten egg mass, we add all the sugar and mix it with a whisk. It is necessary to mix well so that the sugar dissolves.
- We melt the butter in a bowl in a water bath.
- In Soviet times, creamy margarine was added to the dough; now we have replaced margarine with butter.
- We add the melted butter to the egg-sugar mass. The mass has become warmer; if the sugar has not yet dissolved, it’s time to knead it again well. We add vanillin to the mass. We mix.
- We add the flour in three to four stages. We mix well to avoid lumps.
- This is the elastic mass we ended up with. Its consistency is like that for pancakes.
- We will bake waffles on a device purchased back in the distant seventies.
- The shape of the waffle maker is square, but for some reason, the waffles always turned out round.
- We heat the device, and before laying out the first batch, we grease the surfaces with oil using a silicone brush.
- In the center of the surface, we place a full tablespoon of dough.
- We close the top part of the device and tightly squeeze the handles. There is no need to apply much effort. We hold it until we hear the dough sizzling.
- It takes half a minute to bake one waffle in a Soviet waffle maker, and the tastiest pastry is ready.
- We transfer the waffles to a plate and let them cool. You can leave a few waffles like this, spread them with your favorite cream, and the delicious dessert is ready.
- The next option is perhaps the most popular. We transfer the finished waffle to a flat surface.
- While the pastry is hot, we roll it into a tube. This should be done very quickly while the dough is hot and soft.
- The tubes are ready. Such tubes were previously filled with custard, protein cream, but most often the filling of the tubes was sweetened condensed milk.
- It is also possible to form a basket for dessert from the waffle while it is still very hot. We place the freshly baked waffle at the bottom of a glass when it is turned upside down, pressing it with our hands to make waves. Waffles cool very quickly and retain their shape.
- On a dessert plate, we set up the basket and fill it with ice cream and seasonal fruits; we have nectarine and blackberry. We add mint leaves. We serve it to the table.
