Ingredients:
For the Wafer Batter:
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- A pinch of salt
For the Wafer Filling (Optional):
- Chocolate ganache, fruit jam, or sweetened whipped cream
Instructions:
1. Preheat the Waffle Iron:
- Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Grease it lightly with non-stick cooking spray or a small amount of melted butter.
2. Prepare the Wafer Batter:
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and a pinch of salt.
- In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then add the melted unsalted butter, milk, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
3. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until you have a smooth batter. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
4. Cook the Wafers:
- Pour a small amount of the batter onto the preheated waffle iron. The amount will depend on the size of your waffle iron; you may need to adjust based on the instructions for your specific appliance.
- Close the waffle iron and cook the wafer biscuits until they are golden brown and crisp. The exact cooking time will vary depending on your waffle iron, so follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
5. Remove and Cool:
- Carefully remove the cooked wafers from the waffle iron using a spatula. Place them on a wire rack to cool. They will become crisp as they cool.
6. Fill the Wafers (Optional):
- If desired, you can spread a thin layer of chocolate ganache, fruit jam, or sweetened whipped cream on one wafer and then sandwich it with another wafer to make a filled wafer cookie.
7. Serve and Enjoy your homemade wafer biscuits! They’re a delightful treat for snacks, desserts, or as a crispy accompaniment to ice cream.
