Method
- Whisk egg whites and sugar only until the sugar begins to dissolve; avoid whipping in a large volume of foam.
- Stir in milk, flour, and melted butter until the wafer batter is thin, smooth, and able to spread into a translucent layer.
- Rest the batter 10 minutes, then cook a teaspoon-sized tester on a lightly greased non-stick pan or wafer iron.
- Spread each portion paper-thin and cook until the surface is dry and the underside is pale gold.
- Roll immediately around a thin dowel while hot, then slide off and cool completely until crisp.
- For the filling, mix toasted flour, powdered milk, sugar, salt, and melted butter until sandy but able to hold when pressed.
- Pipe or spoon the polvoron filling into the cooled wafer tubes without packing hard enough to crack them.
- Store airtight as soon as filled and serve within a few days, because humidity quickly softens the wafers.
