111. A "Gofry" is a dessert delight! You can smell them yards away and they make your mouth water. You have to have one! Gofry is a Polish Waffle. They are made fresh to order and are divine! You can order them plain with powdered sugar, with whipped cream, fruit, chocolate, carmel or nuts.
We had our first Gofry in the Old Town in Warsaw, Poland. It was crispy and had a delightful vanilla flavor. Though one custom we noticed with the Poles, they picked the Gofry up in their hands and ate it as you would a hot dog. Although, when they eat their kielbasa and bread, they cut it with a fork and knife and never put the sausage on the bread. We Americans cut our Gofry with a knife and fork and we ate our kielbasa on the bread in our hand. I made sure to watch the locals around before I began to eat anything.
"Gofry" Polish Waffle
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons white sugar 4 egg yolks
4 egg separated, beating the egg whites to peaks
1 1 / 4 cups milk
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons white sugar 4 egg yolks
4 egg separated, beating the egg whites to peaks
1 1 / 4 cups milk
1 tsp vanilla
1 / 2 cup melted butter
Begin by sifting the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar - all the dry ingredients - together in a large mixing bowl.
Take a separate bowl and whisk together the egg yolks, milk, vanilla and butter.
Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and pour the liquid ingredients into it.
Use a mixer to mix the wet and dry ingredients just until you get a moist mixture (stop when the dry ingredients are moistened).
In a small bowl beat egg whites until stiff. Gently fold the egg whites into the batter, mix a little but not too much since you will destroy the delicate egg whites.
The waffle batter is done. Now just pour it onto hot waffle iron and cook until done. This usually takes a few minutes, a good sign that the waffes are done is when the steam stops coming out of the waffle maker.
