Soft airy waffles

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make soft, airy waffles with milk for an electric waffle iron? Prepare your food. It is better if all the products are at room temperature - then the waffles will turn out more fluffy. Therefore, remove the milk and egg from the refrigerator in advance. The oil will be heated, it is not necessary to take it out. If you are short on time, you can heat the milk and keep the egg in warm water.

2. STEP 2

   

   Melt the butter in any available way - in the microwave, in a water bath, or simply in a ladle on the stove. I microwaved it, 10 seconds was enough.

3. STEP 3

   

   Pour the milk into a bowl. Divide the egg into yolk and white, and immediately add the yolk to the milk. Add sugar, regular and vanilla. You can change the amount of sugar depending on your preferences. With the recipe, the waffles are not very sweet.

4. STEP 4

   

   Mix the products with a whisk; a regular hand whisk is sufficient.

5. STEP 5

   

   Add baking powder to the flour and stir. Sift the mixture into a bowl of milk. This will saturate the flour with oxygen, which will make the baked goods more airy. Add a pinch of salt. Pour in the melted butter.

6. STEP 6

   

   Mix everything together with a whisk until smooth. There will be no lumps, since there will be quite a lot of flour.

7. STEP 7

   

   Beat the egg whites with a mixer until stiff peaks form. A well-beaten egg white will not fall out of the bowl when turned over.

8. STEP 8

   

   Transfer the whipped egg white to the dough. Gently stir it in using a hand whisk or spatula. The dough will become much thinner. Do not knead it for a long time so as not to destroy the structure of the whipped protein, which will make the waffles airy.

9. STEP 9

   

   Preheat your waffle iron. Lubricate the top and bottom panels with a drop of unscented vegetable oil using a pastry brush. Pour a couple of tablespoons of batter into the center. Cover with a lid.

10. STEP 10

    

    Bake the waffle until golden brown. The time will depend on the features of your device. Remove the finished wafer with a spatula. Bake waffles using all the dough this way. I got 10 pieces, the diameter of the waffle iron is 10cm.

11. STEP 11

    

    Serve soft Viennese waffles to the table. Bon appetit!

Thanks for the recipe! Soft, airy milk waffles are so easy to make from the most ordinary ingredients, and how amazing the result is! The children especially liked your waffles. I make them for breakfast, school lunch and afternoon snack. And yes! You can take these waffles with you. And if friends or relatives unexpectedly come to visit, the recipe becomes a real lifesaver. To taste, I add cinnamon or vanilla, or orange extract for baking.
