Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 113 grams Unsalted butter
- 150 grams Granulated sugar
- 30 grams All-purpose flour
- 30 ml Light corn syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Remove from heat and stir in the granulated sugar, light corn syrup, milk, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour and salt. Gradually add the flour mixture into the melted butter mixture, stirring to create a smooth batter.
Drop teaspoons of the batter onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving at least 2 inches of space between each scoop as the wafers will spread significantly during baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 6–8 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is lightly set.
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and allow the wafers to cool on the trays for 2–3 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store the lacy wafers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
