Instructions

1. 1
   Mise en Place

   Gather and weigh 200 g flour, 500 g water, and 10 g sugar, then set out a bowl, whisk, ladle, wafer iron, spatula, board, and rack. · 5 min

   What to look for: Ingredients are weighed and tools are within reach.

2. 2
   Dissolve Sugar

   Whisk the sugar into the water until dissolved, keeping the bowl steady so the thin batter starts smooth. · 2 min

   What to look for: The water looks clear with no sugar grains on the bottom.

3. 3
   Whisk Batter

   Add the flour gradually while whisking, then beat until the batter is pourable, smooth, and thinner than pancake batter. · 4 min

   What to look for: The batter runs freely from the whisk with only tiny bubbles.

4. 4
   Rest Batter

   Rest the batter for 10 minutes, then whisk again to remove any settled flour before cooking the wafers. · 10 min

   What to look for: The batter is smooth again after whisking.

5. 5
   Heat Iron

   Heat the wafer iron to 204°C / 400°F until both plates are fully hot and a small drop of batter sizzles at once. · 5 min

   What to look for: A test drop sets immediately on the hot plate.

6. 6
   Cook First Wafer

   Pour 25 g batter in the center, close the iron, and cook until steam fades and the wafer turns pale gold. · 2 min

   What to look for: The wafer is thin, dry at the edge, and pale gold.

7. 7
   Cool Wafer

   Lift the wafer with a spatula, lay it on a rack, and press gently with a flat board while it cools crisp. · 2 min

   What to look for: The wafer lies flat and firms as it cools.

8. 8
   Repeat Cooking

   Repeat with the remaining batter, whisking before each pour so the flour stays suspended and every wafer stays thin. · 35 min

   What to look for: The finished wafers are even, pale, and crisp.

9. 9
   Serve Wafers

   Serve the wafers fully cool, either whole or snapped into pieces, while their texture is dry, crisp, and delicate. · 1 min

   What to look for: The wafers snap cleanly when broken.
