Basic Waffles

By Elizabeth at OhioThoughts Blog

Ingredients

2 eggs, separated

1 cup milk

¼ cup corn oil

2 Tbls sugar

½ teaspoon salt

1 cup flour

2 teas baking powder

Directions

1.  Preheat the waffle iron.

2.  In a large mixing bowl, whisk together all dry ingredients.

3.  Separate the eggs, placing the whites in a small mixing bowl

and set aside.

4.  Mix together the egg yolks, milk and oil in a pourable bowl

or container. Mix into the dry ingredients mixture.

5.  Beat whites until soft peaks form or till moderately stiff.  Fold

egg whites into batter until well incorporated.  The less stirring at

this point the better the waffles.

6.  Single most important step is to oil or spray the waffle grids

prior to cooking and a few times in between each waffle as well.

7.  Pour enough batter into waffle iron to cover the inner bottom

 half but leave an uncovered edge perhaps ¼ to ½ inch around

edges.  The batter will expand while cooking.    

8.   Remove waffles with a fork; serve hot with butter and syrup.
