Waffles
Waffle recipe from the Joy of Cooking
Ingredients
Sift before measuring:
1 3/4 cups cake flour (250g)
Resift with:
2 teaspoons double-acting baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon sugar
Beat well:
3 egg yolks
Add:
2 to 7 tablespoons melted butter or vegetable oil
1 1/2 cups milk
Beat until stiff, but not dry:
3 egg whites
Directions
Make a hole in the center of the sifted ingredients. Pour in the liquid ingredients.
Combine with a few swift strokes. The batter should have a pebbled look, similar to a muffin batter.
You may want to include one of the following, for variety:
1/2 cup fresh fruit or berries
1/4 cup raisins or pureed dried fruit
1/4 cup finely chopped nuts or coconut
1/4 cup grated semisweet chocolate
1/2 cup shedded sharp cheese
1 cup finely diced cooked ham
Fold in the egg whites until they are barely blended.
Cook on a waffle iron.
