• First of all, you need to pay attention to the ingredients that are used in cooking. For example, eggs should not be cold. They should be at room temperature.
• But if according to the recipe you need to beat the yolks and whites separately, then the whites will need to be cooled first. The yolks, in turn, need to be warmed to room temperature.
• Waffle batter loves experiments. Don't be afraid to add small pieces of chocolate, ground walnuts, dried fruit or sesame seeds. Even small pieces of the same bacon or sausage will not hurt if you are not going to make sweet waffles.
• Before frying waffles in a frying pan, it must be preheated. Depending on what kind of stove you have (gas or electric), the heating time can vary from 1 minute to 5 minutes.
• The frying pan must be constantly lubricated with vegetable or butter. But if the dough recipe contains margarine or butter, then it is not necessary to constantly grease the pan. It will be enough to lubricate it initially and that’s it.

In a deep bowl, beat the sugar with a mixer. Add butter and beat the mixture again. Then add flour, mix thoroughly.

If the list of ingredients includes cocoa, honey or nuts, then add them too. Pour in 1 tablespoon of sunflower oil, stir in vanillin (if included in the recipe) and baking powder.

Grease the waffle iron plates with a small amount of sunflower oil and heat the device well. A light indicator will indicate that it is ready for use. It will light up green.

If you have a Soviet waffle iron, then you will have to check the degree of heating yourself. Just drop some sunflower oil on the lid. If it sizzles, it means the waffle iron has warmed up well.

Pour 1-2 tablespoons of batter into the waffle iron. When you close the lid, the batter will be evenly distributed over the surface of the plate, and the waffle will be really crispy and thin.

Close the lid tightly and bake the waffle until done. When the dough is baked, the green light will go off. If there is no indicator, use the time as a guide. On average, a waffle bakes for 2–3 minutes.

How to bake waffles without a waffle iron

If you don't have a waffle iron, make thin waffles in a frying pan or in the oven. The taste will not suffer from this. But the waffles may turn out thick and are unlikely to crisp.

In a frying pan

Grease a pancake pan with a small amount of sunflower oil and heat it well. Pour a spoonful of dough and carefully spread it over the entire surface.

Fry the waffle for 15–20 seconds on each side.

In the oven

Here the waffles take a little longer to cook. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and draw circles on it for convenience. Pour a tablespoon of dough into each circle and smooth with a spatula. Bake waffles in an oven preheated to 200°C for 5 minutes.

Roll up once the waffles are baked. They easily take any shape while they are hot. Cooled waffles crumble and break.

You can twist the tubes by hand.

Or using any stick with a finger diameter.
