Waffles

Summer is just around the corner here in Texas, but two weekends ago temperatures went down to 4 C, which is very strange for March in Houston. We took advantage of that and made some waffles, maybe the last ones with a nice cool weather :(



I got this recipe from serious eats and I have to say is a fantastic one, this waffles are very very easy to make and not time consuming at all, much more simpler that the recipe I usually use for waffles. The result is also different, this one gives you fluffier, lighter waffles, the fact that you have to beat the whites separately make all the difference. If you like waffles try this recipe it will fulfill your expectations.




We ate them with some strawberries that I saute with a little bit of sugar and honey. That was a simply perfect breakfast.

The recipe:

(makes four 9-inch square waffles (original recipe says 3 but I got four)

1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt

2 egg yolks
1 3/4 cups milk
1/2 cup canola oil

2 egg whites

Procedure

1. In a medium mixing bowl stir together flour, baking powder, and salt. Make a well in the center.

2. In another bowl beat egg yolks slightly. Stir in milk and oil.

3. Add egg yolk mixture all at once to the dry mixture. Stir just till moistened (should be lumpy).

4. In a small bowl beat egg whites until stiff peaks form (tips stand straight up).

5. Gently fold egg whites into flour and egg yolk mixture, leaving a few fluffs of egg white, Do not overmix.

6. Spoon waffle batter into your waffle iron, making sure not to overfill it.

7. Serve with anything you like, you can even serve this with ice cream for dessert!!
