Homemade Waffles

One thing I love doing on the weekend is making a big breakfast. The week days are usually something quick and easy so I like to make a bigger deal of it on the weekend.

My downfall about the weekends is there’s usually more going on so I didn’t pay attention to the recipe as I was making them. I didn’t beat the egg whites to a stiff peak, which the note in the book says makes the waffles have a nice crunch to them. Either way it still tasted good. Hubby likes them flavored so we just topped ours with some extra fruit.

2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
2 large eggs, separated
1 ½ cups milk
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt.

Beat the egg whites until stiff. Set aside. (I didn’t pay attention to this and just beat them a little.)

Beat the egg yolks. Add the milk and butter.

Add the flour mixture, stirring until just blended.

Fold in the beaten egg whites.

Bake in a hot waffle maker that has been sprayed with cooking spray for about 5 minutes, until golden brown.

Serve immediately with hot maple syrup, melted butter, honey or jam.
