Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the Batter

In a mixing bowl, combine 125 grams of all-purpose flour, 100 grams of granulated sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon baking powder.

In another bowl, whisk together 2 eggs, 50 milliliters of milk, 65 grams of melted butter, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps.

Step 2

Preheat Your Waffle Iron

Plug in your waffle iron and set it to medium high heat. Allow it to preheat thoroughly until it reaches the desired temperature for making wafer tubes.

Itโ€™s key to get the right temperature to achieve an even, golden color on the tubes.

Step 3

Shape the Wafer Tubes

Using a small sauce ladle, pour a portion of the batter onto the center of the preheated waffle iron, allowing it to spread out. Close the iron carefully.

Cook the batter for about 1.5 to 2 minutes, checking until the wafers are golden and crisp.

Step 4

Assemble and Fill the Tubes

Once cooked, carefully remove the wafer from the waffle iron and wrap it around a metallic tube, holding it in place until it cools and sets.

If you prefer, fill the tubes with sweetened condensed milk or any of your favorite fillings before serving.

Step 5

Serve and Enjoy

Dust the finished wafer tubes with cocoa powder if desired. Serve these delightful treats alongside a cup of coffee or as a lovely dessert.

Store any leftovers in an airtight container to maintain their crispness.
