Polish wafer bars {Andruty}
Polish Polish wafer bars {Andruty} made from sheets of wafers layered with home-made cream. The wafers are then stacked one on top of to another and cut into bars. This delicious home-made treat reminds me of my mom, she made this a lot when we were kids, it was easy and the wafer sheets were readily available.
The recipe was prepared by my high school friend Magda Kasjaniuk, who is co-writting the next cookbook about traditional Polish desserts.
Polish wafer bars {Andruty}
Ingredients
- ¾ c / 170 g of granulated sugar
- ½ c / 120 ml of milk
- 2 Tbsp / 10 g of cocoa powder
- 7 oz / 200 g butter
- 2 1/4 c / 215 g of powdered milk
- 4 sheets of wafers (about 10 x 10 inch / 26 x 26 centimeters each - square or round
Instructions
Into a medium pot place sugar, milk, cocoa powder and butter and start heating but don’t boil. Heat until sugar has dissolved, stir often. Set aside to cool.
Once the mixture cooled off, add powdered milk and whisk until it becomes creamy.
Lay the first wafer on flat surface and pour about 1/4 of the cream onto it. Top with the next wafer and repeat until all cream is used up.
Wrap with plastic foil and place in the fridge. Top with a cutting board for a bit of weight. Cool for 4 hours.
When ready to serve, take out and cut into strips (about 2 inch / 5 centimeters), and then into rhombus-, square or triangle-shaped “bars”.
