Wonderful Waffles

Made these waffles the other day out of cookbook someone had given me entitled 'Waffles'. I'm amazed at all of the uses of waffles - many being a complete dinner meal! I haven't tried those yet however I have tried these lovely granola whole wheat waffles (that the entire family loves) and just recently a very basic classic waffles recipe. My first try with that one and they were fantastic - here's the recipe;

Best-Ever Classic Waffles

1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
4 tsp baking powder
2 tsp sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1 3/4 cup milk
2 large eggs, separated
8 tbsp butter (melted and slightly cooled)
2 tsp almond extract (Jenn's addition!)

In a large bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, sugar and salt. In another bowl, whisk together the milk, egg yolks & almond extract until completely blended. In a small bowl, beat the egg whites until firm, but not stiff.
Make a well in dry ingredients and pour in the milk mixture until just blended. Add the butter in a slow stream until incorporated. Gently fold in the egg whites.
Pour generous 1/2 cup batter per waffle, spreading to edges of waffle maker. Cook approximately 3 minutes until crisp & golden brown.

** So for me, I did not pull out the heavy duty mixer for beating the egg whites and they still turned out just fine.
** And it's got to be all that lovely butter that makes them so delicously crisp!

Either way, this waffle recipe is here to stay! Waffle Wednesdays everyone :)...
