Step-by-step cooking
Step 1:
How to make cream for a waffle cake? Prepare all the necessary ingredients for making the cream. Take flour of the highest grade, starch is better than corn, since it will not give the cream a characteristic taste and will not weigh it down, unlike potato. Take milk with a fat content of at least 3%. Take bigger eggs - C1 or C0.
Step 2:
In a bowl with a rounded bottom, beat the eggs with sugar until the sugar is completely dissolved. Before that, do not forget to wash the eggs using a special soap and a food brush. It is not necessary to beat up to a lush foam.
Step 3:
Pour the milk into a saucepan or a small saucepan, pour out the vanilla and mix. Heat to a warm, but not yet hot state. If you plan to use vanilla sugar instead of vanillin, increase the amount required by the recipe by 10 times. Putting too much vanillin, you can spoil the taste of the finished product.
Step 4:
Add sifted flour and starch to the beaten eggs. Sifting will remove small debris if present and make the cream more homogeneous and airy. Whisk everything until smooth. You can beat it with a whisk or a mixer. The main thing is that there are no lumps left. Add 2-3 tablespoons of warm milk and whisk again until a homogeneous mixture.
Step 5:
Bring the milk to a boil and make the fire lower. Continuously stirring, pour in the resulting mixture in a thin stream. As soon as the cream thickens (it takes about 5 minutes, depending on your stove), remove from the heat and whisk well. If the cream seems a little runny to you, do not worry, after cooling it will become thicker. So that the cream is not covered with a crust, you need to cover it with cling film on top so that it lies tightly on the cream.
Be sure to cool the cream completely before use. If you put a still warm cream on fragile air wafers, they will spread out and the cake will not work.
The cream tastes delicate, not cloying, with a light vanilla aroma. Personally, I like cakes with a more pronounced taste. Together with this cream, I add another cream to the waffle cake - chocolate or condensed milk.
It takes about 2 tablespoons of cream for a round waffle sheet with a diameter of 20 cm. The amount obtained according to this recipe is enough for 5 such sheets.
