Course:
Breakfast, Brunch
Cuisine:
American
INGREDIENTS:
- 1 ¾ c. flour
- 2 tsp. baking powder
- 1 Tbs. sugar
- 1Tbs. grated orange peel
- 1 tsp. ground cinnamon
- ½ tsp. ground nutmeg
- 1 ½ c. milk
- 3 eggs, separated
- 2-7 Tbs. butter or vegetable oil
- Pam
- Melted butter
- Real maple syrup, warmed
DIRECTIONS:
- Sift the first six ingredients together. Set aside.
- Beat the egg yolks well and add the milk and butter or oil. The more oil you add, the crispier the waffles will be.
- Make a hole in the center of the dry ingredients. Pour the egg, milk and oil mixture into the hole and blend with a few swift strokes.
- Beat the egg whites in a clean bowl until stiff but not dry. Fold them into the batter gently until barely blended. Do not over-mix. Leave some of those little egg white bubbles in the batter.
- Pour into a heated and Pam-sprayed waffle iron and cook until the steam stops coming out of the sides of the iron.
- Experiment with the timing because every waffle iron is different.
- Serve these waffles with melted butter and real maple syrup.
