Already, probably, no one will say exactly where such beloved waffles came from . Waffles with syrup, fruits, wafers with condensed milk, the recipe for which almost any housewife knows. Each of us remembers their peculiar relief pattern in the form of gratings. They are the perfect breakfast dish and tasty treat for the kids. Both in the confectionery industry and at home, various types of this product are baked, both crispy and soft wafers - the recipe for each confectioner is strictly individual. Since these cookies are cooked strictly only in a waffle iron, before cooking, it is important to choose this device.
In the old days, when electricity had not yet been appreciated, all cookers used devices similar to pans to make waffles. In these devices, they had to be more attentive to the dough and turn the pans every 20 seconds, unlike modern electric waffle irons with the 3D heat function. Apparently, soft waffles appeared, the recipe of which is very common.
Of course, they didn’t stop using exotic waffle irons as exotic, these 2 cast-iron plates on long handles, connected to each other, are the key to cooking such dishes as soft waffles (recipe from old times). The disadvantage of this device is its weight, since only cast-iron plates could provide a uniform temperature distribution over the entire surface of the plates. Modern appliances are very compact and not only do not take up much space, but also are the subject of a kitchen interior. Due to the fact that this dish is prepared in a huge number of ways and options (soft and crispy wafers, square and round), modern waffle makers use removable mesh plates separate for thin and thick layers of dough.
The main ingredients of the dough and the basic recipe for making waffles: flour, sugar, salt, egg and milk (sometimes baking powder). Before placing the dough, the surface of the cells is lubricated with oil, poured with a thin stream, evenly distributing with a thin spatula. It doesn’t matter if you make crispy waffles or soft wafers, the recipe for the test always says that it should be liquid.
To prevent the waffles from becoming crispy:
- Do not put too much butter in the dough - then the wafers are not only crunchy, but also crumble with a bite. It is such products that almost always come across to us in stores, in beautiful boxes. Their most significant drawback is the fact that, in addition to greasy hands and a large number of crumbs, a lot of oil passing through the hot device, leads, in most cases, to heartburn. We will not even remember about the calorie content of this type of dish.
- The second method is based on the proportions of proportions of flour - protein - starch. If we put equal amounts of flour and starch in the dough, we get a more transparent and crispy dough. At home, it is best to experiment until you get the perfect option. Do not be afraid that unsuccessful attempts will end up in the trash, because it is enough to spread the filling on your product, and you will get soft waffles.
How to make soft waffles - recipe.
Pour a thick layer of dough into the device and bake it only until the steam stops leaving the edges of the waffle iron.
