I got the recipe from Dyniel on Wykop.pl. Have a look at this guy’s bread. He’s a bad-ass baker.
Time Planning
Make sure you have a spare hour before cooking, or just chill in the freezer, mixing once or twice. That’s all.You’ll need a waffle maker.
Ingredients
This was enough to make 12 pieces.
- 250 g plain flour
- 200 g melted butter
- 150 g sugar (that’s a lot, I’m fairly confident we could reduce it to 100 g or even less)
- 3 eggs
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 tablespoon vanilla pudding (instant powder)
- a pinch of salt
- 1/2 vanilla pod (I had none but had some vanilla sugar, so I replaced some sugar with it)
Instructions
- Melt the butter, but don’t burn it. Some use microwave to do it, I did it on a cooker
- Mix flour, sugar, baking powder, pudding and salt in a bowl
- Open a pod and add the seeds into the bowl
- Add eggs and mix the batter
- Gradually add butter and mix to get a runny batter
- Put it in a fridge for at least one hour to get stiff, kind of like ice-cream. I’m a lazy bastard, so I placed it in a freezer for 20 minutes, mixing it twice in the meantime
- Heat up your waffle maker
- Place a dollop of batter on the iron and close it to bake. Don’t make them rectangular like waffles, it’s supposed to be irregular
- Transfer onto the cooling rack to get them cold and crunchy
The recipe suggests there should be no additions, but I’m an ignorant, so I had them with a plum marmalade and also with maple syrup.
WARNING: they are very sweet. I will be trying to make an altered version based on the Dyniel’s experiments, replacing sugar with xylitol and white flour with a dark one. Stay tuned!
