Viennese waffles with baking powder for an electric waffle iron

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   Prepare all the ingredients listed in the recipe. Remove the butter from the refrigerator in advance so that it has time to soften. Preheat the milk (no higher than 40 degrees). It should be pleasant to the touch, not scalding hot.

2. Step 2:

   

   In a bowl, combine the soft butter and sugar. Beat with a mixer at low speed or with a regular fork until smooth. If you want the pastries to be sweeter, increase the amount of sugar to 150 grams. You can use a sweetener that is not afraid of heat treatment.

3. Step 3:

   

   Add the eggs (3 large or 4 smaller) and continue to beat until smooth and smooth texture.

4. Step 4:

   

   Without stopping whipping, gently pour in warm milk in parts.

5. Step 5:

   

   Add 1 tablespoon of lemon juice. Sift the flour to saturate it with oxygen. Mix part of the flour with baking powder (1 chine. l without a slide) and send it to the milk-egg mixture. So the baking powder is better distributed over the dough. It can be replaced with baking soda (1 tsp. l.), extinguished with 9% vinegar or lemon juice (1 tbsp. l.). It is not required to mix it with flour beforehand.

6. Step 6:

   

   Add the flour in parts. Beat the dough until smooth. Flour may need more or less than indicated in the recipe. Everything will depend on its properties and the degree of humidity. Change the amount, achieving the desired creamy consistency. Let the dough stand for 5-10 minutes so that gluten is released from the flour.

7. Step 7:

   

   Turn on the electric waffle iron to warm up.

8. Step 8:

   

   The finished dough should turn out a little thicker than pancakes with a smooth, even texture without lumps.

10. Step 9:

    

    With a silicone brush, lightly lubricate the waffle iron with refined vegetable oil with a high gorenje temperature. So when baking waffles will not stick. If the surface of the device is Teflon, it is not necessary to lubricate it with oil.

11. Step 10:

    

    With a ladle or a tablespoon, pour the dough into the middle of the mold. For each waffle, you need about 2 tablespoons of dough. Close the electric waffle iron tightly and bake. The baking time depends on the power of your appliance. It took me 5 minutes to bake. You can have it faster or a little longer. When you open the lid of the electric waffle iron, be careful not to get burned by the steam that forms during the baking process.

12. Step 11:

    

    How to determine the readiness of waffles baked in an electric waffle iron? The finished pastry will be well browned on top, will be lush, soft inside and crispy outside.

13. Step 12:

    

    Bake all the other waffles in this way until the dough runs out. The surface of the mold (with the exception of Teflon) should be lightly oiled each time.

14. Step 13:

    

    Cool the finished waffles a little. Before serving, pour over the chocolate sauce or sprinkle with powdered sugar through a fine strainer. It will be delicious to serve with honey, condensed milk, jam, jam, syrup, melted chocolate.

15. Step 14:

    

    These are ready-made waffles in the section (see photo). Decorate them with chopped walnuts, fresh raspberries, strawberries, blueberries or slices of fruit. Fresh mint leaves will not be superfluous either.

16. Step 15:

    

    Viennese waffles are delicious both warm and cold. But in my opinion, they are much tastier hot! Bon appetit!
