As you know, in Soviet times, electrical appliances were made honestly. Many people still have working kitchen devices. For example, according to the majority of housewives, the Soviet electric waffle iron is much better and more reliable than modern devices designed for quick and tasty baking of dessert. Therefore, if you inherited such an aggregate, we recommend that you do not hesitate in preparing wafers in the form of tubes. Unlike the store ones, this delicacy turns out to be more delicious and fresh.
Step-by-step recipe for an electric waffle iron (USSR)

The dough for the Soviet electric waffle iron was very often made based on this very brochure. Therefore, it always turned out to be especially tasty and tender.
So, for the preparation of wafer rolls, we need:
- good quality margarine - about 150 g;
- large eggs, chicken - 3 pcs.;
- beet sugar - 1 cup full;
- light flour (be sure to sift) - 2 cups;

- sunflower oil - 5 ml (for lubrication of the form).
Making dough for an electric waffle iron
There are several ways to prepare such a base. We decided to consider the simplest.
The standard recipe for homemade dessert involves the use of many high-calorie and fatty foods. To properly knead the dough for an electric waffle iron, you must strictly follow all the recommendations described.
Fresh high-quality margarine is placed in a deep bowl, and then put on a water bath and gradually melt. At this time, begin to process other ingredients. Chicken eggs are beaten strongly with sugar using a mixer, a regular whisk or a blender.
After the cooking oil has melted, it is removed from the stove and slightly cooled. Then, sweet egg mixture is added to warm margarine and mixed well. Leaving the ingredients aside, proceed to the processing of sour cream. To it add table soda and carefully quench it. After that, both masses are combined and interfere until a homogeneous mixture is formed.
In conclusion, the sieved flour is added to the obtained base . After mixing the products, you should get a batter for an electric waffle iron (without a single lump).
Heat treatment
It is not enough to make the dough for the electric waffle iron for the tubes. It should still be baked correctly. To do this, the kitchen appliance is connected to the network, and then a little greased with sunflower oil. This procedure is not necessary before baking each wafer. It is enough to grease the form once.
As soon as the device heats up, dough is collected in a tablespoon and quickly poured onto the bottom of the electric waffle iron. Having covered the base with a lid, both halves are pressed well.
It is not necessary to distribute the dough (for an electric waffle iron it should not be very thick) on the surface of the mold. The base should spread itself when the lid is closed.
As such, each waffle should be baked for two minutes.
Avoid a large amount of base on a frying surface. This is due to the fact that after you close the lid, excess dough will flow.
