Recipe

Preparation Time: 20 mins Cook Time: 5 mins Ready Time: 1 hr 25 mins


• preheat an oven to 375 degrees f (190 degrees c). lightly grease 2 baking sheets.
• beat the butter, sugar, and vanilla with an electric mixer in a large bowl until smooth. add the egg whites one at a time, allowing each to blend into the butter mixture before adding the next. mix in the flour until just incorporated.
• drop teaspoonfuls of the dough ungreased baking sheets. spread thinly with a spatula or the back of the spoon into a 3 inch circle.
• bake in the preheated oven until browned along the edges, about 5 minutes.
• remove the baked wafers from the baking sheet one at a time using a spatula or kitchen turner. roll each wafer around the handle of a wooden spoon until the edges overlap. cool seam-side down on a wire rack until completely crisp.
