- Add a little flour, knead not too steep dough, which is given 45 minutes in the heat to ripen.
- From the dough to form balls 3 - 5 cm in diameter, from which to bake round wafers. Cut hot corrugated rounds on a stencil so that the products are perfectly even, and then glue in pairs with the selected filling to each other.
Cooking in a multi-bakery
Using the appropriate multi-baker panel for cooking, you can bake traditional Dutch waffles according to the previous recipe or from peanut-flavored dough.

- 2 eggs;
- 60 g peanut butter;
- 400 ml of milk;
- 20 g of milk powder;
- 260 g of flour.

Recipe for a regular waffle iron
This version of Dutch waffles is a little surprising in composition, because in it almost a third of the flour is replaced with starch, but this is what helps to achieve a crunch.
As a fragrance for this baking, you can take not only vanillin, but also various others, for example, fruit essences.
The proportions of the products in the test:
- 3 eggs;
- 70 g of butter;
- 180 g mayonnaise;
- 180 g of sugar;
- 5 g of baking powder;
- 260 - 390 g of flour;
- 130 g of starch;
- vanillin.
Step-by-step recipe for an electric waffle iron:
- Beat eggs with sugar, add mayonnaise and liquid butter. Stir to make the mixture homogeneous.
- Pour starch, baking powder and flour into one container, carefully stir with a whisk and pass through a sieve. Then partly mix into the liquid component. The result is a rather tight mass. After cooling the butter, the dough will become thicker. Therefore, to prevent the wafers from being too hard, it is better to add dry components when the temperature of the liquid oil mixture approaches room temperature.
- Divide the dough into 10 - 20 identical lumps, depending on the desired size of the wafers. Lightly grease the frying surface of the waffle iron with a brush and warm the device thoroughly.
- Flatten each bun of dough with your hands into a pancake and put in the center of the frying panel. Press the other side and the oven to a beautiful caramel color.
If desired, a finished hot product with a knife can be given a more regular shape.
With boiled condensed milk
The simplest and most popular filling for wafer rolls and wafer cakes based on boiled condensed milk is also applicable to Dutch sling wafers. You can significantly save time on the preparation of the filling by buying a ready-made toffee, but it is better to spend a few extra hours to be absolutely sure of the quality of the finished product.

- 370 g (1 can) of condensed milk;
- 200 g of butter.
Cooking toppings:
- Put the condensed milk in a saucepan of a suitable displacement, pour cold water and put on fire. When the water in the pan boils, reduce the heat to a minimum and cook the mixture for 2.5 - 3 hours. After, remove from the stove and cool in water.
- Remove the butter from the refrigerator in advance so that it has time to warm up and soften at room temperature.
- Beat soft butter with a mixer, then, while continuing to whip, add the cooled boiled condensed milk in several steps. The cream is ready and they can glue the waffles.
Dutch caramel waffles
This layer for sling wafers is traditional.
Typically, Dutch housewives cook it from brown sugar and molasses, but you can use your favorite salted caramel recipe or a simpler way to make hard toffee:
- 200 g of hard toffee sweets (for example, "Kiss-kis" or "Golden Key");
- 60 ml of milk;
- 50 g of powdered sugar;
- 50 g of butter.
How to cook caramel filling:

- Strain all the components of the caramel, continuously mixing so that the mixture does not burn, until a homogeneous cream. You need to work with the finished stuffing very quickly, since it quickly hardens.
With honey layer
Dutch waffles with a honey layer will appeal not only to honey lovers, but also to cinnamon lovers.
The tastes of these products combine well with each other, but if someone does not like the bright cinnamon aroma, the amount of aromatic spice can be reduced or this ingredient can be completely eliminated:
- 120 g of honey;
- 70 g of butter;
- 50 g of sugar;
- 20 g of cinnamon.
Working process:
- Heat honey, sugar and cinnamon over low heat until smooth. It is not necessary to bring the mixture to a boil, 60 degrees will be enough. This will help preserve the beneficial properties of honey and make caramel uniform.
- Once the sugar grains have melted, remove the honey from the heat and add the butter. Stir the filling until smooth and proceed to layering the finished wafers.
Dutch waffles with cream
A layer of sugar and cream wafers is especially sweet and viscous - a real dream for sweet tooth.
It is not difficult to prepare it, but observing some of the subtleties and strictly following the proportions of the ingredients is simply necessary:
- 200 ml of fat cream (from 30%);
- 250 g of sugar;
- 30 g of butter.
Cooking:
- For cooking, you will need a pan with a thick bottom and high sides. Pour the amount of sugar indicated in the recipe into it and, with constant stirring, melt it. It is important not to burn the product so that the caramel does not turn out too dark and bitter.
- In parallel, thoroughly warm the cream, but do not bring them to a boil. Pour cream into melted sugar in a thin stream, stirring the mixture. This will prevent the formation of lumps, which will then be difficult to breed.
- Next, cook the caramel to a beautiful golden color and density. At the very end of cooking, add a small piece of butter and stir.
How to make with chocolate
Chocolate ganache is a fairly stable cream, which can also be a filling for Dutch waffles.
Chocolate for the layer can be used dark, white or milk, depending on personal preferences.
The list of necessary products for the chocolate layer:
- 100 g of chocolate;
- 50 g butter;
- 60 ml of heavy cream.
Cooking method:
- In a water bath, not allowing the chocolate to heat above 60 degrees, melt a broken tile into pieces with butter.
- In a microwave or in a bath, warm the cream to the same temperature as chocolate. Pour the hot cream into the melted chocolate, mix and briefly set aside. When the cream begins to thicken, they can smear Dutch waffles.
Homemade waffles are exquisite, but such a simple treat. Make them with pleasure and complement with any fillings to enjoy new tastes every time.
