WAFFLES - 12 WAYS! 3 cups sifted all-purpose flour (may substitute with part whole wheat flour)
4 teaspoons baking powder
2 tablespoons sugar (optional)
1 teaspoon salt
4 egg yolks, beaten
4 egg whites beaten until stiff
1 1/2 to 2 cups sweet milk or buttermilk
4 tablespoons melted butterSift dry ingredients together. Beat egg yolks until light and add the milk and melted butter. Combine wet and dry ingredients. Fold in beaten egg whites. Bake in a hot waffle iron. Makes about a dozen waffles.
TIPS:
* Put the waffle batter into a pitcher. It is much easer to pour the batter!
* Don't overfill waffle compartments or the batter runs out on the sides of the waffle iron.
* Waffles are done when there is no more steam rising from the iron.
* After cooling, freeze extra waffles in a plastic freezer bag. Separate with wax paper before freezing.
