Many people probably remember the taste from childhood: waffles cooked in an electric waffle iron by their mother or grandmother. And then, in order to surprise our children and husbands with culinary masterpieces according to our mother’s recipes, we take out the dusty waffle irons that we inherited from the pantries. This miracle of technology, made by the masters of the Soviet Union, cannot be replaced by any modern kitchen technologies; they are easy to use and do not require high culinary skills.
To prepare an exquisite dessert, you will need a good mood, a Soviet waffle iron and ingredients for one of the recipes we offer.
The main secret of delicious thin waffles lies in the consistency of the dough: it should be moderately thick and resemble rich homemade sour cream. To prevent the waffles from burning, add a couple of tablespoons of vegetable oil (preferably odorless, refined) or a spoonful of starch (corn or potato) to the dough.
The cooking time for waffles depends on the power of the electric waffle iron and the recipe. For example, dough mixed with margarine or butter bakes quickly, but dough mixed with kefir or milk takes much longer. The average cooking time for one cake lasts from 30 seconds to 4 minutes.

The waffles according to this recipe are very crispy and flavorful.
To obtain small-diameter waffles when baking, you need to use no more than one teaspoon of dough
Due to the absence of baking powder in the recipe, the waffles are super thin and very crispy. If you want to get fluffier baked goods, add one teaspoon of baking powder to the dough at the stage of adding flour.
This dough also makes great crispy ice cream cones.
Milk waffles with cinnamon
With the addition of milk to the dough, waffles acquire a distinct milky taste, which children especially like. Aromatic cinnamon turns a crispy waffle into a self-sufficient dessert that does not require the addition of sweet cream or fruit and berry sauce.
It is better to choose milk with high fat content (3.5–4%), so the taste of the waffles will be more pronounced

Unsweetened cheese wafers
These waffles have an incredible taste and crazy crunchiness. The tantalizing aroma of cheese waffles will not leave anyone indifferent. But keep in mind that this recipe requires hard cheese; processed cheese is absolutely not suitable.
Greetings, our dear readers. I really wanted to bake homemade, crispy waffles, just like our grandmother used to make. And today we’ll talk about what kind of dough to prepare for home waffle irons.
Previously, I only knew my grandmother’s recipe and prepared simple waffles on a Soviet electric waffle iron. Everything seemed to be fine, I baked it, wrapped it in a tube and it was ready. Sometimes they were made with filling, usually boiled condensed milk was placed inside. Although many people probably did this.
But then we purchased another waffle iron, the old one broke, and it turns out that not only the design is different, but also the thickness of the final product is different. And it turned out that there are actually a lot of recipes, all different. But most importantly, if you use your imagination, you can make wonderful pastries or cakes based on them. Or you can simply decorate it beautifully and put it on the holiday table.
Of course, there are a lot of recipes, so there are nuances that we will talk about first, and so, here we go.
Sometimes, to get a delicious waffle iron batter, you need to know a few little tricks. Then the waffles themselves will definitely turn out great.
And if you know any other tips on this topic, write in the comments, share your experience, it’s very interesting not only for us, but also for our readers.
- The secret to the golden color of the waffles is the turmeric in the recipe. Use half a teaspoon for 2 cups of flour.
- When melting butter for dough, it is most convenient to use a water bath. However, do not bring the oil to a boil. But it’s better not to melt the oil, but to soften it.
- It is better to choose natural butter itself, rather than margarine or spread.
- More oil in the recipe will make homemade waffles softer.
- To reduce the calorie content of waffles or if you follow a vegetarian diet, you can replace milk with water in the same proportion. These homemade waffles will taste blander. Milk waffles are softer and darker in color.
- Before you start baking waffles, prepare your waffle iron. To do this, heat it about ten minutes before starting the process, lubricate it with oil. If the coating in the waffle iron is non-stick, then you don’t have to lubricate it, since the oil in the dough will prevent the product from sticking.
- If the recipe calls for sour cream, you can substitute homemade mayonnaise.
- Waffles will be not only tasty, but also healthy if you replace part of the wheat flour in the dough with oatmeal, buckwheat, and corn flour. You can add some ground bran.
- If the waffles turn out too thin, you can add a few tablespoons of wheat flour to the dough. If the cakes are thick, do not crisp and take a long time to bake, then you can dilute the mixture with water or milk.
- In addition to rum, you can add cognac to the dough, the waffles will turn out more aromatic and with a pleasant light aftertaste.
- A very tasty dessert would be waffles rolled into a tube with filling inside. However, remember that the waffles can only be rolled while they are hot. After removing the waffle from the bottom of the waffle iron, immediately twist it using a knife and a towel to avoid getting burned. As soon as the tube has cooled, fill it with thick boiled condensed milk or protein cream.
- If you place ready-made hot waffles on top of each other, they will soften and stick together. Place them separately - on a plate or board, and fold them tightly when the waffles have cooled a little.
Well, in fact, everything is simple, but also use your imagination and decorate the portions beautifully and originally, then you can serve it beautifully at the holiday table.
The classic dough recipe is crispy waffles.
This is one of my favorite waffle iron recipes. A taste from childhood, waffles can be rolled into tubes and filled with boiled condensed milk or cream. These are still sold in stores and on beaches today. Only their quality and price are scary.
It’s much tastier and healthier to make it yourself, especially since it won’t take much time, everything is quite quick.
You can also roll these waffles into cones and fill them with homemade ice cream; the kids will be delighted.
And this recipe is not only tasty, but also very high in calories, but then you can replace the butter with milk or kefir. Try it too, it still turns out very tasty.
We will need:
- Eggs - 5 pcs.;
- Butter - 200 g;
- Sugar - 1 glass;
- Flour - approximately 180 g;
- Sunflower oil (unflavored) - 1 tablespoon.
In addition, you can reduce the fat content by replacing 200 g of butter with 100 g and adding another 100 g of sour cream.
So, beat the softened butter with sugar using a mixer or a fork. It is best not to melt the butter, but to soften it, then the waffles will not stick.
Add the eggs and beat some more, preferably with a mixer.
Sift flour into the dough and mix.
The consistency of the dough should be like pancakes.
dough like pancakes
To prevent the waffles from sticking to the waffle iron, add 1 tablespoon of sunflower oil. We learned from bitter experience, so it’s better to add oil now and grease the waffle iron itself once, then they won’t stick anymore, well, that’s what happened to me.
NOW we warm up our waffle iron, it usually takes 3-4 minutes. There is no need to rush, it’s better to let it warm up thoroughly, you can check by dropping a little dough onto the bottom surface. If the dough is prepared as it should, then you can start cooking. Don't forget to grease the surfaces of the waffle iron with oil.
Pour 1-2 tablespoons of dough onto the bottom surface. The exact amount is determined by experiment. If you pour a lot, the dough will run slightly over the edges, and you can carefully remove it with a knife. If you pour too little, the waffle will not fill the entire area of the waffle iron. It's not scary, it'll just be a small tube.
Making the first test
So, pour the dough, close the waffle iron and press it by the handles.
Carefully! – at this moment hot steam flies out of the waffle iron, so put an oven mitt on your hand.
We hold it a little, and then you can let it go and let it bake. One waffle is baked from 20-30 seconds to 1.5-3 minutes, depending on the power and settings of your waffle iron. To find out if it’s ready, open the waffle iron slightly and look in... It’s still pale, which means you need to hold it for a couple more minutes.
Each waffle iron takes a little getting used to, so usually the first waffles turn out to be test ones.
As soon as our waffle is ready, we act quickly, since ready-made waffles quickly harden and become brittle. Use a knife or spatula to pry up the waffle, transfer it from the waffle iron to a board or plate and quickly, while still soft, roll it into a tube.
This is how we twist it
Be careful, the waffle is hot. After twisting the wafer roll, hold it for a few seconds to prevent it from unwinding.
You can now conduct experiments by filling the tubes with various creams and something else tasty, bon appetit.

Waffle iron batter recipes - delicious homemade waffles. updated: November 20, 2018 by: Subbotin Pavel
In Soviet times, preparing waffles in an electric waffle iron was quite problematic, since most housewives did not have the main and scarce assistant - the electric waffle iron. It was almost impossible to buy such waffles in a store, and only those who were able to obtain this “culinary tool” with cunning, ingenuity and acquaintances could prepare them at home. Today, modern electric waffle irons are an affordable purchase for every person who likes to play tricks in the kitchen, and unlike their predecessors, they are not so bulky, and preparing waffles with their help is much easier and simpler than three decades ago.
Despite all the difficulties of baking, almost every housewife had a recipe for the best waffle dough in an electric waffle iron. It could differ depending on what kind of waffles the cook wanted to bake: thin, thick, soft, crispy, sweet, salty, etc. But regardless of culinary preferences, the dough base consisted of the following products: eggs, sugar, flour, water/milk. These ingredients were mixed using a mixer until the consistency of a batter was achieved. Today, there are a lot of recipes with an expanded list of ingredients, and some of them will also be discussed today.
The process of baking waffles is extremely simple. The main thing is to correctly calculate the time, which depends on the amount of dough. Thin waffles take up to 1 minute to cook; thicker ones need to be baked for 3 to 4 minutes. It is the thickness of the waffles that determines what the finished delicacy will be like. Thin waffles are most often rolled into a “cone” or tube and filled with a variety of fillings. As a rule, this is condensed milk, jam, jam, cream or whipped cream. Often, waffle “cakes” are smeared with cream or condensed milk among themselves, and the dessert is served on the table in the form of a cake. Decorate the waffles with powdered sugar, chopped nuts or coconut flakes.
Thicker waffles in an electric waffle iron are known to many as “Viennese waffles” or “Belgian waffles.” They are sold under a similar name in stores, but preparing them at home is not difficult, so you can do without purchased products and pamper your family with homemade baked goods. The finished waffles are topped with honey, syrup or chocolate mousse and served with a scoop of ice cream or fresh berries.

Anyone can make delicious waffles in an electric waffle iron. If you carefully look at the proposed recipes, you will be able to make sure of the accessibility, lightness and simplicity of this dessert. Homemade waffles differ favorably from store-bought ones in that you will always know what products you are using and can be one hundred percent sure of their quality and freshness. Since the taste of the finished waffles largely depends on the quality of the dough, this point should be given special attention. The baking process is simple and does not require any explanation, so finally I want to give a couple of tips so that your waffles in an electric waffle iron turn out delicious the first time and without problems:
- If you don’t have butter on hand, you can replace it with margarine;
- To make the dough more homogeneous, use the same amount of powdered sugar instead of sugar;
- Milk, kefir or sour cream gives the waffles softness. Waffles made with water will have a bland taste;
- The baking time for waffles depends on the specific electric waffle iron. Thin waffles will be ready in 40 seconds, while thicker ones will need to fry for at least 3 minutes.
What you need for cooking:
Waffle iron;
Spoon or small ladle;
Wide bowl for kneading dough and filling;
Gloves;
Scales or glass for measuring (I have 200 ml.).
Dough:
4 chicken eggs (~ 200 gr.);
170 gr. sugar (1 glass);
130 gr. flour (1 cup);
100 gr. butter, fat content 82.5%.
Cooking process:
- In order to prepare the dough for crispy waffles, we need to melt the butter. This can be done in the microwave or on the stove. I prefer to melt the butter in the microwave, but you need to do it carefully, because... the oil should not boil. You shouldn’t set the timer for a minute and leave the microwave, but it’s better to heat it for 10-20 seconds and check for readiness. Set the melted butter aside for now and let’s prepare the rest of the ingredients.
- Combine eggs and sugar in a bowl and beat this mixture a little with a whisk. You don’t need to mix for a long time, just enough to get a homogeneous mass. Next, add the slightly cooled butter and whisk everything until the sugar is completely dissolved. Sift flour into the resulting mass and knead the dough.
- The mass turns out to be quite thick, similar to condensed milk. Set the finished dough aside for now.
- While the dough is “resting”, we will prepare the waffle iron in which we will bake delicious, crispy waffles. I use an electric waffle iron, so I’ll tell you how to prepare and bake waffles in it. Having greased the surface with a small layer of vegetable oil, we plug the waffle iron into the outlet and wait for the indicator to light up and give us permission to bake waffles in it =) ATTENTION! If you are a child, be sure to prepare waffles with adults, because... it can be dangerous to your health!
- When the waffle iron is ready, we begin the baking process. I prefer small waffles, so I use about 1 tablespoon of batter per waffle. You can adjust the amount of dough as you wish. The main thing is that there is no more dough than the waffle iron itself =) Close the upper part of the electric waffle iron and bake.
- You can periodically open the waffle iron and check the degree of doneness (just be careful, the waffle iron can emit very hot steam) . Some electric waffle irons have the ability to select power. I prefer to bake at medium power, in my opinion, it’s easier to control the degree of frying.
- Remove the finished waffle from the waffle iron using a spatula. Unfortunately, it is difficult to find an electric waffle iron in which the waffle is fried evenly; as a rule, the result is as in the photo below. But this does not affect the taste and crispness of the waffles.
- If you do not plan to roll the waffle, for example, into a tube, then leave it on the plate and proceed to baking the next one.
- And if you want to give the finished waffle some shape, then you need to do this immediately after removing it from the waffle iron. The waffles simply instantly become brittle and brittle. Just please be careful, the waffles are very hot! Therefore, it is better to “arm yourself” with clean gloves and work with waffles only in them.
- Ready waffles cool quickly enough, so when you finish baking the last waffle, the rest will already be ready for your tea party.
- Brew tea or coffee and enjoy =)
On a note:
- It is very important to follow safety precautions when working with an electric waffle iron and the waffles themselves. All items are very hot! Therefore, in order not to discourage your desire to cook waffles and not to put cold things on your fingers, protect yourself with gloves. Be careful!
- This type of waffle is great for creating tubes and cones, from which you can subsequently make other types of desserts.
- If desired, you can cut out various shapes from hot waffles using cutters.
Be sure to try making these crispy waffles. It's very fast, simple, and most importantly delicious. recipe for electric waffle iron, according to which your waffles will turn out right the first time. And also, this is the basis for other interesting desserts.
