Zimtwaffeln (Thin Cinnamon Wafers)

Another traditional german cookie which I will bake every year without fail.  The batter is easy to prepare but the baking using the wafer maker is a bit time-consuming. Nevertheless, it is worth the effort because the taste is awesome and the texture is crispy!

Ingredients:
4 eggs
300 g sugar
300 g soft butter
500 g flour
2 tsp cinnamon powder
¼ l fresh milk
A pinch of salt

ghee (Butterschmalz) for the wafer maker (Zimtwaffeleisen)

Method:
Whisk the eggs and sugar till white and creamy. Add in the butter and mix well. Sift in flour and cinnamon powder. Mix well again. Then, add in salt and milk until a soft dough mixture is reached.

Heat up the wafer maker. 

Place 1 – 2 tbsp of dough mixture on it and spread evenly. Close the lid and bake for 2 – 3 minutes or until light brown.

Remove from wafer maker and quickly cut the edges accordingly before it starts to get hard and crispy. 

Let them cool on a cake gitter before storing them in an air-tight tin.

Happy Baking!
