Hong Kong waffles
Description
Decided to make Hong Kong waffles? Take a look at this recipe! The quantities listed yield 6–8 waffles. The exact number will depend on the thickness and size of your waffle iron. This simple yet truly delicate dessert will please both children and adults. Everything about this dish is wonderful—the flavor and the bright, original appearance! In this recipe I offer a dessert version, but the waffles and filling do not have to be sweet. Serve warm or chilled. Perfect with tea.

Step 6
To get waffles that look like the ones in Hong Kong, you need a special waffle iron in your kitchen arsenal. Unlike others, it has a distinctive shape that produces waffles with raised spherical bumps. Turn on the waffle iron and wait until the red ready-to-use indicator lights up. Grease the surface with oil to prevent sticking.

If necessary, trim away the excess with a knife, and without waiting for it to cool, roll the waffle into a cone right away. Place the rolled waffle in a glass or another deep, narrow container. Choose fillings to your taste. For a sweet version, use any favorite cream, whipped cream, or ice cream. You can decorate the waffles with fresh berries or fruit, as well as any confectionery decorations.
