Waffles

My kids love waffles, but there are so many different recipes out there! I finally settled on this one from Allrecipes.com. I changed up the directions a little and this batter makes a light waffle with a nice crunchy texture- yumm!



Ingredients

2 eggs
2 cups all purpose flour
1 3/4 cups milk
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 tbsp sugar
4 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp vanilla

Directions

1. Preheat waffle iron.

2. Separate egg yolk and white into two bowls. In the bowl with the egg yolks, add the flour, milk, oil, sugar, baking powder, salt and vanilla. Mix until combined- there will be some small lumps.

3. Beat the egg whites with a hand mixer until stiff peaks form.

4. Lightly fold the egg whites into the batter. Do not completely mix- you want some lumps! This is what gives the waffle a crispy outside texture.
5. I use a 1/3 cup measuring cup and pour the batter onto the hot iron.

6. Cook until golden brown and yummy!!

ENJOY!
