Recipe: S'moreffles

For background on this recipe, see the previous post.

This recipe comes to us from Lauren Pett, chocolatier and owner of Rich Chocolates. (Her online shop is here.) It was adapted from Nancy Silverton's Pastries from the La Brea Bakery.

For s'mores, you need marshmallows, chocolate and graham crackers.

For s'moreffles, you need marshmallows, chocolate and graham cracker dough. Lauren recommends mini marshmallows.

The graham cracker dough can be made a day ahead of time. The dough is first waffled separately, and then the whole s'moreffle is briefly rewaffled to bring everything together.

Here's how to make s'moreffles.

Graham cracker dough

This recipe makes about a dozen 4-inch square waffled graham crackers. 

Ingredients:

• 2 cups all purpose flour (or, 1 cup whole wheat, 1 cup all purpose flour)
• 1 cup dark brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• 7 tablespoons butter, cut into pieces, chilled
• 1/3 cup honey
• 5 tablespoons whole milk
• 2 tablespoons vanilla extract
• Pinch of cinnamon

Directions:

1. Mix the dry ingredients. In a separate bowl, whisk the milk, honey and vanilla.

2. Add the butter to the dry ingredients and rub together (or pulse in food processor) until the mixture looks like coarse cornmeal.

3. Add the milk mixture to the flour mixture until a dough forms. You may need to add a bit more flour, up to a half cup.

4. Wrap in plastic and chill for at least two hours, or overnight.

Bringing it all together: S'moreffles

1. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough so that it's just over a quarter of an inch thick. Punch out or cut out the dough into squares, about 4 inches on each side. (You may experiment with the thickness of the dough to suit your waffle iron. Similarly, the size and shape of the dough may be adjusted according to your waffle iron.)

2. Waffle the dough. Waffle iron heat varies; check the dough after about three minutes.

3. Set aside the waffled graham crackers.

4. When you are ready to assemble the s'moreffles, place one waffled graham cracker on the waffle iron and top with chocolate and marshmallows. Place another waffled graham cracker on top, close the waffle iron (you may not wish to close it all the way), and allow the heat to melt the chocolate and the marshmallows — about one minute.

Enjoy.

[Lucy]

Wow. This is the best waffle idea ever - looks so delicious! I can imagine eating way too many of these way too quickly :)

[Eatmytortes]

Fantastic. I think these look like great little snacks. They'll have to be a special treat though :)

[Leeann]

Dan, this is the best thing that has ever come out of a waffle iron. And graham cracker dough -- think of the possibilities.

[aspires2b]

Hash browns, s'mores, homemade graham crackers... I can't wait to see what's next. Recipes, text, photos, all very well done. Are you thinking about publishing all this a cookbook? You should.

[Heather I.]

I saw this on foodgawker and I don't know how long I can wait to try this. WOW, that is one of the best creations I've ever seen!

[Jennifer]

Wow. I haven't used my waffle iron for years, but it's coming out this weekend.

[Katya Simkhovich]

This sounds like the perfect breakfast treat to remind me of summer in the middle of this blustering, freezing cold new england winter.

[Amy I.]

Just came across your blog. I dare say the concept is genius.. looking forward to reading along!!

[Alison]

YUM. I just bought the Villaware UNO (on sale on Amazon) and I am so excited for Saturday. Purely because I am making waffles. In one post, you combined two of my favorite things: s'mores and waffles! Thank you!

[Cris R]

You have COMPLETELY made my day, week, month, etc etc. I went GF 2 yrs ago and have been SO sad about graham crackers and s'mores. BUT with your lovely recipe above I can make homemade GF grahams (replacing the wheat flour of course) and make them waffled no less! Heaven! Happiness!

[Christina]

What a GENIUS idea! Waffles and S'mores together. Awesome! I've got to try this!

[iTito]

OMFG! i love waffles.

[Liesl]

A.M.A.Z.I.N.G! S'more is practically my middle name!!! I am dying to take a bite! YUM!

[Alyson]

This looks amazing. Sounds like I will *have* to do this at the next brownie camp with the girls!
Something I've been meaning to invent a recipe for for ages: falafel waffles. What could be better than a delicious recipe with a rhyming name?!

[David Archer]

Made these tonight. I will probably have a heart attack in my sleep, but they're out of this world.

[Marsy]

I had to try these! I had some difficulties with the dough in my waffle maker, but they tasted fantastic! Would probably require more experimentation with the waffle iron, but great fun, and well worth it. It got two thumbs up from my 5 year old!

[Sarah]

I made these tonight and they were AWESOME! The dough was a little difficult to deal with because it's so sticky. I ended up patting it out instead of using a rolling pin but they were delicious!

[Daniel]

The dough started out sticky when we did it, too. You might need to add some of that half cup of flour the recipe talks about.

This is amazing! i'm including it in a roundup on Dabbled.org today. So glad to have found your site!

[Cappy]

I've tried making this twice now. The first time, the waffle batter burned before becoming firm enough to remove from the waffle iron. The second time I rolled the dough out thicker and cooked it on a lower temperature, but the dough spread past the waffle iron, and the waffle separated when I tried to open the iron. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. Fortunately the remaining dough bakes up nicely in the oven...

[Daniel]

First off, I'm sorry to hear it's not working out for you. As ridiculous some of the recipes on this site are, I really do try to make sure that the results are reproducible.

Did you try adding some of the extra half-cup of flour the recipe instructions mention?

Otherwise, it sounds like variation among waffle irons might be responsible for some of the difficulty — especially in the first case. If I make them again, I'll see if I can work out what might have gone wrong.

[Kevin F. Quintero]

Your finished product is flawed, way too crispy too resemble a waffle, it should have some sort of fluff, like any respectable waffle. You have wafers, not waffles. KFQ. Mine will be better, photograph much better too.

someone missed the point. and is a dick.
