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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

Bake in the preheated oven for 6–8 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is lightly set.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

Store the lacy wafers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
