Russian Thin Waffles
I always wanted and for a long time I've been planning to make a recipe for classic waffles, like the ones we used to eat as children, filled with cream or ice cream or without filling. They were loved by all the children and, after the walnut shaped cookies, they were the first ones to disappear from the plate with holiday sweets.
As for this recipe, it's the most classic possible. I found it in the recipe book which used to come with the Soviet waffle maker. It's perfect, the waffles are very crunchy, firm, fragrant and tasty. They can be modeled in various shapes - ice cream cones, baskets, waffle cookies or rolls. They can be made beforehand, they stay dry and just as crispy for two or three days.

Step by step
Step 1
Beat well the eggs with the sugar. I used a whisk, not the mixer.
Step 2
Add the softened or almost melted butter, stir.
Step 3
The flour comes next, mix well so there aren't any lumps.
Step 4
At the end, add the oil and vanilla essence, mix.
Step 5
This is the stovetop waffle iron - wash well with dish soap, then wipe to dry.
Step 6
Heat well on the stove, then grease with oil. Use a napkin to spread and, at the same time, to absorb the excess oil.
Step 7
When the waffle maker is well heated, turn the heat to low-medium and ladle out some batter.
It can be from one teaspoon to one tablespoon, depending on the desired size of the waffles.
Step 8
Close the waffle maker and, within 20-30 seconds, turn it upside down, about one or two times.
They burn very quickly, so it's better to cook the waffles over low heat.
Step 9
Periodically open and check, to make them as brown as you like.
Step 10
You'll have to shape the waffles as soon as they are ready. If you leave them for even two or three extra seconds, they will harden and break.
Remove from the iron with a spatula or a knife and give them various shapes.
For example, here I made an ice cream cone. I placed the hot waffle over a glass, turned upside down and held it with my fingers for a while. You can also grab the hot waffle with a towel, so you won't burn yourself.
Step 11
Here, a beautiful basket will surely be appreciated :)
Step 12
For this batch, I made baskets and ice cream cones, because the season has just started. We like them with the quick ice cream and various toppings.
Step 13
They can be easily made in an electric maker as well. The good thing is you don't have to turn them over, they bake evenly on both sides.
My waffle iron has a triangle pattern and is only found in Russia.
If you have one which was inherited from mothers / grandparents, use it.
Step 14
Here I made cookies. I folded the waffle sheet into 4 and it was like a triangle with a more rounded edge.
Step 15
You can also make rolls which can be filled with any cream you like, for example, whipped cream.
Step 16
Here is the batch made with the electric waffle maker.
I recommend the recipe, no matter the device you have. Everyone will like the waffles :)
Enjoy!
