Waffles are quite tasty, but high-calorie: an average of 320 calories per hundred grams of the finished dish (excluding additives: sauces, cream, honey or confiture). Compared to them, cottage cheese-based wafers seem to be dietary (190 total calories), which makes it possible to eat them much more often. The dish can even afford the ladies who carefully monitor the figure. This article discusses several recipes for curd wafers along with their step-by-step preparation, and also reveals several secrets of a successful waffle test.
Waffle Maker Recipe
The most common set of ingredients for making waffles is:
- 260 grams of cottage cheese;
- 100 grams of liquid cream or milk;
- two eggs;
- 150 grams of flour;
- two tbsp. l granulated sugar;
- 1 tsp. without a hill of soda and vanilla sugar.
You also need some butter to lubricate the waffle iron - curd waffles may stick a little. If the appliance has a non-stick coating, then you can skip this step.
Cooking
Making a dough for curd wafers is very simple, even a schoolboy can do it: first you need to knead the cottage cheese with a fork or lightly beat with a blender, add cream and sugar, as well as an egg and soda with vanilla. Stir thoroughly until smooth and add sifted flour at the end. It is better to let the dough stand for ten minutes, so that it comes to condition and only then take up the baking of curd wafers. Preheat the waffle iron well and lubricate generously with oil before each laying of the dough so that future waffles do not burn. It is more convenient to bake small wafers, spreading one tablespoon of dough in the middle of the mold and pressing it well with the top cover. Wait until the dough acquires an appetizing ruddy color (no need to bring it to brown shades), and carefully remove the finished wafer, prying it with a fork or knife. If you wish, you can turn it into a tube still hot, but this type of test does not really like such procedures.
Fragrant lemon waffles (with photo)
The recipe for curd waffles with lemon zest will make an excellent breakfast not only for children, but also for adults with sweet tooth. To prepare the test you will need:
- two hundred grams of cottage cheese;
- three eggs;
- grated zest of one lemon;
- three tablespoons of sugar;
- 120 grams of milk or fat-free kefir;
- 60 grams of butter;
- 160 grams of wheat flour.
Eight waffles are usually obtained from such a quantity of ingredients, so we independently calculate the necessary proportions for the desired number of curd wafers. To prepare the dough, for starters, you should divide the eggs into proteins and yolks, mash the cottage cheese with sugar and softened butter (can be melted in a water bath), add the lemon zest. Next, add the yolks, mashed with milk, and flour to the curd mass. In a separate bowl, beat the proteins until a stable foam (as for a protein cream) and carefully, with a spoon, introduce them into the curd dough. Bake in the usual way in a waffle iron.
A recipe for a multi-baker
Progress in the field of culinary art does not stand still: every year there is something new, more perfect, not only facilitating the process of cooking, but also making it more diverse. Therefore, a multi-baker is a rather necessary thing in the household, especially if a person values time (food is prepared several times faster), as well as for those who prefer home cooking to restaurant food. With it, you can cook not only waffles from various types of dough, but also muffins, donuts, hot sandwiches, grilled vegetables and even omelettes with fillings. Isn't it a miracle?
This multi-bake wafer dough recipe is prepared using soda water. Such curd wafers are dietary, since most of the usual wheat flour is replaced with rye flour, which makes them not only lighter, but also fragrant. The composition of the necessary products:
- 500 grams of low fat cottage cheese.
- Two hundred grams of sugar and margarine.
- Five eggs.
- 150 grams of sparkling water without additives.
- 250 grams of rye flour (you can also use corn, but then the calorie content of waffles will increase significantly).
- 150 grams of wheat flour.
- 1 tsp baking powder, also optionally add vanilla.
Step by Step Actions
To prepare the dough for waffles, you first need to grind the soft margarine with sugar in a bowl until light foam, and then add the eggs and cottage cheese. Using a blender, turn the contents of the dishes into a uniform mass, add rye flour to it, then soda and mix again, making sure that small lumps do not form.
Combine wheat flour with baking powder and add to the bulk at the end of the batch. Let the resulting test stand for several minutes while the multi-baker is warming. Curd wafers are baked in this machine quite quickly (no more than five minutes), so you should not leave it unattended for a long time.
Another recipe for note
This recipe is even more dietary, as it does not contain gluten, which is important for many people. The composition includes:
- Two hundred grams of cottage cheese.
- Two apples.
- One egg.
- Two tablespoons of sugar.
- 90 grams of rice flour.
- If desired, add a little cinnamon for flavor.
Mash cottage cheese with egg and sugar, add a pinch of salt. Remove the core and seeds from the apple (no need to peel) and grate, gently squeeze the excess juice with your hands. Combine the curd with applesauce, add flour and knead thoroughly to a uniform state. If it seems that the dough is liquid, then you can add a little more flour, because its amount depends on the presence of liquid in the dough. Spread one spoon in each cell of the multi-baker, carefully pressing the lid. Bake until a soft rosy color that will compete with a stunning apple flavor. Using a fork, move ready-made waffles to a serving plate, add a couple of tablespoons of thick sour cream or a scoop of ice cream, you can decorate with fresh berries or grated chocolate.
Tips for making dough and baking
The taste of ready-made wafers from cottage cheese dough is very similar to cheesecakes, and baked with the help of a multi-baker they even look a bit similar: with a crispy golden crust and soft inside.
Such wafers are much tastier than hot, so you should not wait for them to cool or cook in advance (three hours before serving). Given that they are baked very quickly, cooking can begin half an hour before breakfast.
If it turned out that during the baking process, the curd wafers stick to the surface of the waffle iron, you should add a little flour to the dough (no more than two tablespoons), and also remember to grease the form with oil.
Usually this kind of waffles is served with berry sauce, whipped cream or jam, but they are also very good with chocolate syrup and honey. And if, when serving, add a handful of fresh chopped fruits (peach, apricot) to the plate, then breakfast will turn from tasty into healthy, which is very important for young mothers.
