Chocolate Waffles and Cigarette Waffles with Vanilla—Thin

Gaufres Minces au Chocolat et Gaufres Cigarettes a la Vanille

Lay six ounces of flour, four ounces of sugar, one ounce of vanilla sugar (No. 3165), and four ounces of powdered chocolate in a vessel; dilute with four egg-yolks, half a pint of double cream partly whipped and four egg-whites also partly whipped. Range this paste with a spoon on a waxed baking sheet into very thin round wafers two and a half inches in diameter and bake in a hot oven. As soon as done roll them on small wooden sticks half an inch in diameter.

Cigarette Wafers with Vanilla.—Dilute gradually six ounces of flour, an ounce and a half of sugar and half an ounce of vanilla sugar (No. 3165), with two and a half gills of milk and one egg; stir to have a smooth and flowing paste, then add an ounce of melted butter. Cook this preparation in round, flat wafer irons (Fig. 608), proceeding the same as for No. 3363. When of a fine golden color roll them on a small roller three-eighths of an inch in diameter.
