About the dish

The recipe makes a large batch and needs a goro iron. Part of the butter may be replaced with boiled lard, and part of the flour with potato flour.

How to make it

  1. 1

    Whisk eggs and sugar

    Whisk the eggs and sugar for 30 minutes. Add the whipped cream, cognac and vanilla or lemon zest.

  2. 2

    Add butter and flour

    Add the butter and flour alternately. Keep some flour back for rolling out. Leave the dough overnight in a cold place.

  3. 3

    Roll and cut

    Roll the dough as thin as possible. Cut a paper template to fit the iron, lay it on the rolled dough and cut out the wafers around it.

  4. 4

    Bake

    Bake the wafers a nice golden brown in a goro iron. Trim the edges immediately.

  5. 5

    Variations

    You can use half butter and half lard (lard that has been boiled). You can also use about 3/4 kg potato flour and leave out the same amount of wheat flour.
