Leanne's super simple waffle recipe


In my circle I tend to be famous for my waffle recipe, which let me tell you shouldn't be as tasty as it is because there is nothing special about it. I guess the secret must be, yes you really do need to separate the eggs and beat the crap out of those whites.

Light and Fluffy Waffles
2 Cups Milk
2 Cups Flour
1/3 Cup Oil
2 Egg Yolks
1 Tbsp Baking Soda
1/2 tsp Salt
1/2 tsp vanilla (if desired)
2 Egg Whites (stiffly beaten)

Mix all ingredients except whites. Stiffly Beat whites and then fold in. Make in waffle Iron (duh). I usually like to top it with a berry mixture for added health benefits but this is not always feasible in the winter given the jacked up cost of fruit in the chillier months. I have done three berry, bananas and strawberries, blackberries, etc. Whatever strikes you, they're your waffles after all. You can add pecans for extra protein as well (this is what I had the morning of my wedding, ala Grandpa Verkaik). Serve with your favorite breakfast sides, whatever they may be

Above is a picture of what they look like when done, but that may vary given the size and shape of your waffles. Kel is bummed that our waffle iron doesn't have littler squares so I am on the hunt for a smaller square one. May need once given the fact that he doused ours with water this morning instead of simply wiping clean.

Enjoy

  1. Yummy!! To bad about the waffle iron! I still need to get one but don't really have the room right now so I guess when we buy a house I can finally get one.

    When I do I will try this recipe. :)
