Mum’s Best and Quickest Wafer Slices

The best and quickest wafer slices are, of course, Mum’s!

I always remember them as a sweet that perfectly blended simplicity and joy. The kitchen would fill with the rich, sweet aroma of the warm filling, and we’d wait impatiently for Mum to spread each layer and press the wafers together until set. The hardest part was waiting for them to cool and be neatly sliced though we would have gladly devoured them immediately, still warm and soft.

 

Those wafers held more than just cocoa and sometimes walnut filling, they carried the warmth of home a comforting sense of safety and the quiet assurance that everything was right as long as Mum was there.

Ingredients

(1 cup = 200 ml)

• 250 g butter

• 1 cup milk

• 1.5 cups sugar (300 g)

• 1 sachet vanilla sugar

• 3 squares of milk chocolate or 2 tablespoons cocoa powder

• Plus 1 packet of wafer sheets

  
  

Method

1. Place all the ingredients into a saucepan. It’s best to use the cold butter straight from the fridge. Stir and once it comes to the boil, cook over medium heat for about 10 minutes. Spread the hot filling over all the wafer sheets.

   
   

2. Once cooled, place the filled wafers into a clean bag. Put a tray and something heavy on top (a carton of juice or milk works well) to press them down. It’s best to leave them like this overnight so the wafers soften nicely.

   
   

3. Don’t worry if the filling seems a bit runny that’s exactly how it should be. It will spread easily between the wafer layers and the chocolate will firm it up as it cools. If you cook it for too long, the filling may crystallise.

Enjoy!

Najbolje i Najbrže Oblatne

Su naravno one Majkine!

Uvek ih pamtim kao kolač koji spaja jednostavnost i radost. Dok se kuhinja punila slatkim mirisom kuvanog fila, mi bismo nestrpljivo čekali da mama namaže redove i pritisne oblatne da se stegnu. Najteži deo bio je čekanje da se ohlade i lepo iseku jer mi bismo ih najradije pojeli odmah, dok su još tople i meke.

U tim oblatnama nije bilo samo fila od kakaa, ponekad i oraha, bilo je i topline doma, sigurnosti i osećaja da ništa ne može faliti dok je majka tu.

Sastojci

(1 čaša=2dcl)

250 g margarina

1 čaša mleka

1.5 čaša šećera (300g)

1 vrećica vanilin šećera

3 rebra mlečne čokolade ili

2 kašike kakaa

 I jos je potreban 1 paket oblatni

Priprema

1. Sve satojke staviti u šerpu, margarin je najbolje koristiti iz frizidera, hladan. Promešati i kad zakuva kuvati na srednoj vatri samo 10-ak minuta. Vrućim filom filovati ceo paket oblatni, kad se ohladi staviti ih u čistu kesu. Na njih staviti tacnu sa kojim tetrapakom da stisne oblatnu. Najbolje da tako prenoći onda će i oblatne da lepo omekane.

2. Neka Vas ne zabrine ako fil bude ređi, tako i treba, em' će se lepo i lako namazati na listove oblatne a čokloada će ga stvrdnuti tokom hlađenja. Dužim kuvanjem riskirate da se fil ušećeri.

Uživajte!
