Viennese waffle dough in an electric waffle iron

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to make dough for Viennese waffles in an electric waffle iron? Prepare the products. Remove the butter from the refrigerator in advance. This is done so that it softens and it is easy to work with. You can immediately cut it into pieces and put it in a deep container in which you will cook the dough — so it will become soft faster. Choose high-quality and natural oil, without vegetable additives.

2. Step 2:

   

   Pour sugar into a deep container to the pieces of butter. Mix the ingredients with a mixer at low speed. Beat the butter and sugar until fluffy.

3. Step 3:

   

   Next, beat the chicken eggs into the butter. Again, whisk all the ingredients until smooth, but at high speeds.

4. Step 4:

   

   Pour the milk into a ladle and heat it up a little, to 35-40 degrees. Carefully, pour the lukewarm milk into the container in parts, without stopping beating the future waffle dough.

5. Step 5:

   

   After all the milk is poured in, add a little lemon juice to the dough. Mix the flour with baking powder. Then sift them through a sieve and also add parts to the container to the rest of the ingredients. Continue to knead the dough. Bring it to a homogeneous state so that there are no lumps.

7. Step 6:

   

   Adjust the consistency of the dough with the amount of flour. It should turn out creamy, like for pancakes, but a little thicker. Let the dough rest for 10 minutes. This is done so that gluten is released from the flour. Then you can proceed directly to baking waffles.

8. Step 7:

   

   To do this, preheat a waffle iron or multi-baker with special nozzles inserted for making Viennese waffles. At the same time, the panels must be lubricated with a small amount of vegetable oil so that the wafers do not stick, and they can be easily removed from the mold. The most convenient way to do this is with a silicone brush.

9. Step 8:

   

   Place 2 tablespoons of waffle dough on the heated panels in the center (you can quickly spread the dough from the center to the edges with a spoon) and close the lid of the waffle maker (multi-baker). Bake the waffles for 5-7 minutes so that they are a beautiful golden color. Periodically check their readiness, because the power of the waffle iron is different. Remove the finished waffles from the mold and trim them with a knife if necessary.

    Viennese waffles baked from this dough are especially delicious just baked. Serve them with ice cream, jam, various sauces, berries and fruits. Bon appetit!
