Delicious waffles in a waffle iron. Dessert waffle recipes for a Soviet waffle iron

Do you still have an old Soviet electric waffle iron? Or maybe there is a new one? Great! Because we can cook thin, crispy waffles in an electric waffle iron - a recipe from childhood!

Remember the delicious wafer rolls with condensed milk or cream? These are now sold in stores and worn on the beaches. But the purchased tubes are not the same, the waffles do not crunch in them, but the filler is sugary and so heavy that one tube will weigh 200 grams. Therefore, let's get our waffle irons and bake homemade waffles - crispy, tasty, thin!

Roll up waffle rolls and fill with your favorite cream. And it will turn out to be a warm family tea party, and then your children will remember waffle rolls with pleasure and ask you for a recipe for crispy waffles to treat their children to them! 🙂

This is the recipe for the most crispy, but also the most high-calorie waffles. But you can cook waffles on kefir, and on milk without butter, and even dietary ones from whole grain flour. For every taste! And we will try all these recipes with you. Come to Waffle Week! 🙂

Ingredients:

5 eggs;
200 g butter;
1 cup sugar (maybe a little less);
1 and 1/3 cups of flour (I have a glass with a volume of 200 g, 130 g of flour without a slide is placed in it. So, 1 and 1/3 cups are about 180 g of flour).
1 tablespoon unscented sunflower oil - so that the waffles do not stick to the waffle iron.

Note: to reduce fat content, you can replace half of the butter with sour cream, take 100 g of butter and 100 g of sour cream.

How to bake:

The dough recipe for crispy waffles was told to me by Olya, a regular reader and author of delicious children's recipes on the site. This recipe came with an electric waffle iron, “native”, so to speak, and therefore the most successful.

I improved it a little more, taking into account the information found on the Internet. In the original, the butter needs to be melted, but it’s even better to just soften it: then the waffles do not stick to the waffle iron.

So, beat the softened butter with sugar using a mixer.

Add eggs and beat some more.

Sift flour into the dough and mix.

The consistency of the dough should be like pancakes.

To prevent the waffles from sticking to the waffle iron, add 1 tablespoon of sunflower oil. I did this after the 2nd waffle: the first two things had to be separated from the surface of the waffle iron with a knife, but after adding oil, the waffles were perfectly removed, and it was not necessary to lubricate the waffle iron every time. Once before the first waffle was enough.

The dough is ready! You can start an exciting activity - cooking homemade waffles!

our electric waffle maker for thin waffles

My parents gave me a waffle iron. Once upon a time, delicious waffles were baked in it, and then they were not used for a long time. Found this while cleaning out the garage. I was very happy, because I had long wanted to learn how to bake homemade waffles, but at the same time I was a little worried if the waffle iron would work after 10 or 15 years of oblivion? I rubbed it well, dried it, properly smeared the surfaces with sunflower oil and plugged it into the outlet. A couple of minutes of waiting ... and - hooray! - the waffle iron started to heat up! Works! So there will be waffles. 🙂

Just don't touch the surface of the waffle iron with your finger to see if it's hot. You can not only burn yourself, there is a risk of getting an electric shock. To check if the waffle iron has warmed up enough, you can drop a drop of dough on it: if it starts to cook, then you can start baking waffles. It takes 4-5 minutes to warm up, but then the unit will heat up and the process will start.

pour a little less than in the photo

Pour on the bottom surface of the dough - 1-2 tablespoons. The exact amount is determined by experiment. If you pour a lot, the dough will run a little over the edges, and it can be carefully removed with a knife. If you pour a little, the waffle will not turn out to cover the entire area of \u200b\u200bthe waffle iron. It's not scary, it will just be a small tube.

So, pour the dough, close the waffle iron and press the handles. Carefully! - at this moment, hot steam flies out of the waffle iron, so put on a mitt-tack on your hand.

We hold a little, and then you can let go, and let it bake. One waffle is baked from 20-30 seconds to 1.5-3 minutes, depending on the power and settings of your waffle iron. To find out if it’s ready, we open the waffle iron and look in ... Still pale, which means you need to hold it for a couple more minutes.

the waffle is not quite ready yet

Here it will be ready...

a little bit more...

And now it's time to take it out! We act quickly, as the finished waffles quickly harden and become brittle.

waffle is ready!

With a knife or spatula we hook the waffle, transfer it from the waffle iron to a board or plate and quickly, while soft, twist it into a tube.

Be careful, the waffle is hot. After twisting the waffle tube, hold it for a few seconds so that it does not unwind. Hooray, it worked! The first tube is not lumpy. We put it on a dish and proceed to baking the second waffle.

This is not a quick matter - 15 waffles are obtained from a portion of the dough, and since each is baked for 4 minutes, in general, cooking will take 1 hour. But it's great to sit in the kitchen, warm, chat with your family about this and that, and then taste crispy homemade waffles together!

So the whole slide of tubes is ready! We could not resist and tried two at once without filling. By the way, very tasty, you can eat waffles and just like that, without cream!

And you can fill them with condensed milk, or custard, or chocolate, or protein ... There are many options! And we will slowly try them out with you - because we already know how to cook thin, crispy waffles in an electric waffle iron!

And here is a bonus for those who have read to the end :) The funniest selection of funny pictures that I have ever seen at the moment. 😀

It's amazing what culinary feats a seemingly ordinary cleaning in the pantry can push. Today, in the midst of this process, an old electric waffle iron, forgotten by me, was discovered by a child on one of the shelves. And I immediately remembered those homemade thin, incredibly tender and crispy waffles that my mother once baked with or without reason. Of course, I immediately wanted to please the family and bake waffles. The recipe for the Soviet electric waffle iron is the same, nostalgic, and, from my point of view, ideal. These waffles are thin, crispy, with an amazing creamy flavor.

Ingredients:

large eggs - 4 pcs.,
butter or creamy margarine - 200 g,
sugar - 0.5 tbsp.,
salt - a pinch
vanillin - 1/3 sachet,
flour - 1.5 tbsp.

boiled condensed milk - 1 can,
butter - 150 g.

Break the eggs into a bowl for mixing waffle dough. I had large ones, so 4 was enough. If your eggs are small, take 5 pcs.

We introduce sugar and salt into the eggs, arm ourselves with a mixer (or blender) and beat the mass well. It is not necessary to grind it white, but the sugar should dissolve completely. To make things go faster, it is better to remove the eggs from the refrigerator in advance (15-20 minutes before kneading the dough).

Next, butter (margarine) must be added to the dough, but first it must be melted. To do this, chop the butter into cubes and send it to the microwave or on the stove. Pour the warm melted butter into the sugar-egg mixture and mix the dough again. A few words about oil. The original version of the recipe (and I found it in my mother's old notebook) contains margarine. But margarine gives waffles a very unpleasant aftertaste that even cream cannot kill.

The dough is almost ready, it remains only to add vanillin to it - an optional ingredient, but incredibly fragrant, so we add quite a bit of it. Then sift the flour into the dough and knead it until smooth.

The dough turns out to be watery, approximately like sour cream of medium fat content. You don’t need to make it thicker, otherwise the waffles will turn out not so thin and crispy.

Everything, the dough is ready, it's time to turn on the waffle iron. I have a very ancient waffle iron, Soviet, we inherited from our parents. But, despite her advanced age, she still bakes perfectly, although she already looks pretty shabby. I let it warm up for 5-7 minutes, then put a tablespoon of dough in the middle of the bottom plate. No more needed, otherwise the dough may try to escape outside. Additionally, it is also not worth lubricating the plates with any fats - there is already enough oil in the dough, nothing will stick.

As soon as the dough is laid out, cover the lid and press it tightly with your fingers. Carefully! At this moment, a characteristic hiss will be heard from the waffle iron and hot steam will pour out of all the cracks, so we keep our hands as far away from the waffle iron as possible, given the fact that the lid still needs to be pressed for at least 10 seconds.

Waffles are baked quite quickly, so after 1-1.5 minutes. you can already check the degree of roasting. You shouldn't fry the waffles too much, you just won't be able to roll them. Slightly reddened and can be taken out.

Now very, very quickly, while hot, roll up the waffle and put it on a plate. Here I have my little secret. The waffles are very hot, and when there are a lot of them and they are baked quickly, the fingers, at times, are unable to endure such high temperatures. And to make waffle folding less sensitive, I put a bowl of ice water next to the waffle iron and dip my fingers into it. :)

You can roll waffles with a regular tube or a cone. The second option is preferable if you are going to fill the waffles with stuffing.

I will have a filling, because as soon as all the waffles are ready, I make a quick and simple cream for them from boiled condensed milk and butter. Such a filling is more tender than ordinary boiled condensed milk and not so cloyingly sweet. To do this, I mix both ingredients in a saucepan and beat them with a blender at minimum speed, using a whisk attachment. A couple of minutes - the cream is ready!

I fill the waffles with cream and you can put the kettle on!

When a new waffle maker appears in the house or a “Soviet-type” unit is taken from the pantry, you always want to quickly test the device. And the reasonable question is how to make waffles in a waffle iron so that they turn out tasty, crispy and successful on the first try.

Homemade waffles: sweets options and cooking nuances

There are a lot of varieties of waffles, as well as thematic devices for their self-baking. Wafers can be savory or sweet, vary in size and shape, have a variety of flavors, and go well with a variety of toppings. At the same time, the concept of “classic” or “traditional” waffle does not exist, the recipes for the usual sweetness depend on the country or region where this or that variety is especially popular.

Depending on the waffle iron you choose, you can bake different versions of this sweet at home. But it is worthwhile to understand that when purchasing a device for working with thin dough, it will not work to cook a Viennese version of a treat in it.

Dough. For thin waffles, pour 2 tablespoons on the bottom surface; for thicker and denser dough. We take it the size of a child's fist and level it over the surface.
Close the top half and wait 4-5 minutes. Open the lid from time to time and monitor the degree of browning. Too pale will take another couple of minutes, and it's time to take out the golden one.

Waffle iron for cooking sweets on gas

The principle is the same, only the device will heat up not from electricity, but from being on the stove. To warm up, turn on the fire a little above medium, and bake the waffles themselves over medium heat. The waiting time is the same as that of an electrical appliance.

To check if the appliance is ready for baking, do not touch it with your hands. In addition to the risk of burns, you can get an electric shock in the case of electric models. It is better to drip quite a bit of dough and if you see that the preparation has begun, you can safely lay out the main portion.

If you are going to cook homemade sweets, you need to take into account that depending on the type of waffles, the additional ingredients and the method of kneading the dough will differ slightly.

this delicacy can also be prepared on whey, baking powder, with the addition of soda or baking powder, using various flours, which will give a new taste to the product.

Very often it turns out that sweets stick to the surfaces of the waffle iron grates. How to avoid it? It is enough to use fatty dough (not pancake), do not forget to grease the surface of the waffle iron with oil, and also use powdered sugar, not granulated sugar, in the process of preparing the dough.

Before preparing waffles in a waffle iron, this device must be warmed up for 10-15 minutes. This will get rid of the result, in which the waffles are not baked to the end and look unappetizing.

Regardless of the size of the inner cells of the waffle iron, it is not recommended to fill them with dough to the brim. Any, and especially yeast dough, will rise quickly, may leak or burn.

In a situation where dough for waffles is kneaded with baking powder, it must be “defended”. Such a dough should be started in the evening, so that it lies in the refrigerator during the night. Only the next day, use it to prepare treats.

Crispy thin waffles in an electric waffle iron

To prepare such a dessert at home, you need a special electric gadget. This is perhaps the most important condition, because any cream can go for the filling, and the base is always the same - a crispy waffle.

For its preparation, the following components are needed:

sifted wheat flour - 180 g;
granulated sugar - 1 cup;
medium eggs - 5 pcs.;
margarine - 200 g;
refined vegetable oil for greasing the mold.

How to cook:

Melted butter to room temperature, beat with sugar. Use a mixer.
Add the eggs to the mass, continuing to beat, mix in the flour. The dough should be thick, like pancakes.
Apply a thin layer of oil to a preheated form and start baking waffles.
The dough is poured onto the bottom of the mold. Its quantity must be determined based on the size of the form itself. According to the recipe for the Soviet electric waffle iron, it is enough to limit yourself to 2 tablespoons. The dough may run a little over the edges if there is too much of it. Thus, only experimentally it is possible to determine its optimal amount.
It is necessary to work with a hot form very carefully, use a tack and “keep a distance”, since at the moment the dough is clamped, hot steam flies out of the unit.
Bake blanks should be from 30 seconds to 3 minutes, depending on the degree of heating of the equipment, as well as on the settings of your device. After the first 30 seconds, you can peek and check how the waffle is blushing. When it is well baked, we take it out and immediately fill it with the chosen cream.
