Waffles II - The Light American One
This is my Favourite they come out quite light so are good served with anything - try sliced bananas, chocolate sauce and vanilla pod ice-cream or a simple toffee dip or some run flamed pineapple and double cream.
Preparation time: 15 - 20 minutes Quantity: 6 - 8 depending on machine
Ingredients
200 g / 8 oz plain flour - sieved
40 g / 1&1/2 oz brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
250 ml milk (any)
75 g / 3 oz melted butter
2 egg yolks
1 teaspoon vanilla extract or double essence
2 egg whites (from above)
Method
- Mix all the dry ingredients together in a large bowl - flour, sugar, salt and baking powder
- In a bowl whisk the wet ingredients together - milk, butter, vanilla and egg yolks
- Whisk the wet ingredients in to the dry until smooth
- Meanwhile whip up the egg white until firm, soft peaks
- Gently spoon the meringue whites in to the waffle batter, trying not to loose air
- You can use this batter straight away or rest in the fridge for an hour or so until needed
