Recipe

Light, Crisp Waffles

Yield
4-5 7in Waffles

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 3/4 cup buttermilk
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 6 Tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 egg, separated
  • 1 Tbsp sugar
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. 1

    Heat oven to 200 dgrs. Mix flour, cornstarch, salt, baking powder and baking soda in a medium bowl. Measure buttermilk, milk and vegetable oil in a 2-cup measuring cup; mix in yolk and set aside.

  2. 2

    Beat egg white in a small bowl with an electric hand mixer to almost soft peaks. Sprinkle in sugar and continue to beat until white and glossy. Beat in vanilla extract.

  3. 3

    Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and whisk until just mixed. Add egg white to batter in dollops. Fold in with a spatula until just incorporated.

  4. 4

    Add batter (for my waffle iron, a generous 1/2 cup) to hot waffle iron, and cook until crisp and nutty brown. Set waffle directly on rack in preheated oven to keep it warm and crisp, at least 5 and up to 20 minutes. Repeat with remaining batter. Serve immediately with syrup.
