Rolled Waffles
My mom taught me how to make the rolled waffles. They are a great desert and can be filled with anything at all. They are quick to make and fun to share.
To make rolled waffles you will need:
- An ice-cream cone maker (looks like a waffle maker, but makes thinner waffles)
- Unsalted butter (2 sticks)
- Sugar (about 300 gramms)
- A pinch of salt
- 5 eggs
- Flour (about 300 gramms)
- Milk (quantity depends on how skinny or thick you want your waffles to be)
Start warming up the waffle maker and melting the butter. I usually microwave the butter for about a minute – a minute and a half to melt it. While melting the butter, combine eggs with sugar and salt using a mixer. Add melted butter, mix some more. Add flour, carefully mix some more. Make sure all the flour is thoroughly mixed with no chunks. Add milk. Keep adding milk until consistency of the dough is like thick sour cream. If you want thinner waffles – add a bit more milk to make the dough a bit more flowy.
By the time your done with the batter, your waffle maker (or ice cream cone maker) should be warmed up. Spread a small piece of butter on the waffle maker before starting making the waffles. Put a table spoon of dough into the waffle maker and close it. Start checking the color in about a minute by opening the waffle maker. When the color is dark tan, the waffle is ready – take it off the waffle maker and roll it up while it’s hot.
Repeat until all the batter is gone. Your waffles are ready!

Russian soup is an all-embracing subject. Volumes could be written on it. But for any woman it is enough to know that a large bowl of borshch or nearly any other Russian soup will provide more hearty food for less points than almost any other one-dish meal; particularly when served with little pastries – called pirozhki – filled with cabbage, left-over meats, meat specialties, fish or eggs.
1 pound soup meat
5 cups water
Soup greens
1 onion sliced
Salt and pepper
5 beets
1/2 tablespoon vinegar
2 tablespoons butter or table fat
1/2 tablespoon flour
1 cup strained canned or chopped fresh tomatoes
Sour cream
Wash meat; place in large pot with 5 cups boiling water, soup greens, sliced onion, salt and pepper to taste. Simmer until meat is tender. Peel and cube beets, put in separate pot, add vinegar and butter or fat, cover with water and cook until tender. Add flour to beets, mix well, then add to strained meat stock. Add tomatoes and boil for 10 minutes. Serve 1 tablespoon sour cream with each portion. Serves 4 to 6.
