Title: Barquillos De Vino Wine Wafer Rolls

Ingredients:
– 1 cup all-purpose flour
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
– 1/4 cup granulated sugar
– 2 large eggs
– 1/4 cup dry white wine
– 1/4 cup melted unsalted butter
– 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
– Powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)

Instructions:
1. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, and sugar. Mix well to ensure the dry ingredients are evenly incorporated.

2. In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, white wine, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.

3. Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring continuously until you have a smooth batter with no lumps.

4. Preheat a flat-based barquillera or pizzelle iron over medium heat. If you don’t have this specialized equipment, a waffle cone maker or a pan specifically designed for making tuile cookies can work as well.

5. Lightly grease the hot barquillera or iron with cooking spray or a brush of melted butter to prevent sticking.

6. Drop a tablespoon of the batter onto the center of the heated surface. Close the lid and cook for about 1-2 minutes or until the wafer is golden brown and crisp. Note that cooking times may vary depending on your equipment, so adjust accordingly.

7. Using a fork or a spatula, carefully lift the wafer off the iron and quickly roll it into a cylindrical shape while it’s still warm and pliable. Repeat this process with the remaining batter, working swiftly to shape the wafer rolls before they cool and harden.

8. Allow the Barquillos De Vino to cool completely on a wire rack before serving. For an extra festive touch, you can dust them with powdered sugar before plating.

9. Enjoy these delicate Wine Wafer Rolls with a cup of coffee, a glass of dessert wine, or simply on their own as a delightful snack to savor the flavors of the season.
