Mother's Day: Light, Crisp Waffles | Submitted By: Kath

3/4 cup all-purpose flour1/4 cup cornstarch1/2 teaspoon salt1/2 teaspoon baking powder1/4 teaspoon baking soda3/4 cup buttermilk1/4 cup milk6 tablespoons vegetable oil1 egg yolk1 egg white1 tablespoon white sugar1/2 teaspoon vanilla extractPreheat the oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C). Preheat your waffle iron. In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, cornstarch, salt, baking powder and baking soda. Combine the milk, buttermilk and oil in a measuring cup. Whisk in the egg yolk with a fork, and set aside. In a small bowl, beat egg white with an electric mixer until almost soft peaks. Gradually sprinkle in the sugar, while continuing to whip until thick and glossy. Stir in vanilla. Pour the milk mixture into the dry ingredients, and whisk just until blended. Fold in the egg white using a spatula. Pour batter onto the hot waffle iron in the recommended amount for your iron. My waffle iron takes a generous 1/2 cup. Close the iron, and cook until golden brown. A good indication that it is getting close is that the steam will stop coming out of the iron. Keep finished waffles in the warm oven directly on the rack. Do not stack, or they will become soggy.

Reviewed on Jan. 26, 2007 by SWEETSUCCESS    Wanted to try a new recipe, this one is "awesome". Good flavor!! Some reviews state that it is too time taking to make. I am giving this HINT. While you are measuring, just get out a few more bowls, and measure 5 or 6 batches of dry ingredients at one time, place in zip lock bags store in freezer, when you want to make the waffles, just get out your premeasured dry ingredients, add the rest of the ingredients and Presto!! you can make them without a lot of time. This works well, on saving time. Also, this waffle is better with 2 Tbls. of sugar which brings out more flavor. Very Good Recipe !!!! Was this review helpful? [ YES ]
18 users found this review helpful Wanted to try a new recipe, this one is "awesome". Good flavor!! Some reviews state that it is... I waffled (ha, ha) back and forth between giving this 4 and 5 stars. It's a 4.5 star recipe. Very light and crispy, and certainly my new favorite waffle, which is why I ultimately gave it 5 stars. It's the delicate texture of the waffle, not at all heavy, which really makes this recipe stand out. But the flavor, while good, is not phenominal. Next time I make this, I'll probably add cinnamon and maybe some banana or blue berries. Thanks for the recipe! Was this review helpful? [ YES ]
