Valentine Fluffy Waffle Recipe
Instructions
-
Pre-heat your waffle iron to its hottest setting. Placing a cookie-sheet under it can help catch any batter drippage during cooking.
-
Pre-heat oven to 200°F.
-
Sift together flour, baking powder and salt.
-
Separate the eggs. Place the whites in a small mixing bowl and the yolks in another.
-
Melt the butter over a low heat, then remove it and let it cool (but not solidify).
-
Beat the yolks thoroughly. Whisk in the milk, oil and melted butter.
-
Beat the egg whites until stiff. Then add the sugar slowly and continue mixing until you get nice stiff peaks.
-
Add liquid ingredients to dry ingredients and mix gently until combined. Don't overmix!
-
Use a rubber spatula to gently fold the beaten egg whites into the batter — and again, be careful not to overmix.
-
Spray both surfaces of your waffle iron with cooking spray.
-
Ladle ½ to ¾ cup (depending on your waffle iron) batter onto the iron and close it. It's not unusual for a bit of batter to seep out of the edges of the iron. If there's excessive leakage, use less batter for the next waffle.
-
Cook until the waffle iron's indicator light shows that cooking is complete, or until no more steam comes out. The finished waffle should be golden brown and crispy.
-
Lift the waffle out of the iron with a pair of tongs and either serve right away or transfer it to the oven to keep warm.
-
Makes about 4-5 waffles.
