Crunchy And Light Waffles For Two Recipes

Steps:

• Heat a waffle iron.
• Mix the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar using a whisk to combine well.
• Meanwhile, melt the butter in the microwave.
• Beat the egg yolk with a fork till fluffy, then add the milk and butter to mix.
• Combine the milk mixture with the dry ingredients.
• Using a hand mixer, beat the egg white to stiff peaks.
• Carefully fold the egg whites into the batter (a plastic scraper works well for this).
• Cook immediately on iron.

Steps:

• Preheat a waffle iron to medium-high. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F (to keep cooked waffles warm). Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Whisk together the milk, butter, shortening and eggs in another bowl. Pour the milk mixture into the flour mixture and gently stir until just incorporated (it's okay if there are some lumps).
• Lightly brush the top and bottom of the waffle iron with butter. Fill the waffle iron about three-quarters of the way full (some waffle iron should still be showing). Close the lid gently and cook until the waffles are golden brown and crisp, 6 to 7 minutes. Keep the cooked waffles warm in the oven or covered with foil on a plate while you make the remaining waffles.
• Serve with maple syrup, butter, sugar or fruit preserves.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 200°F and heat the waffle iron.
• Mix the flour, cornstarch, salt, baking powder, and baking soda in a medium bowl.
• Measure the buttermilk, milk, and vegetable oil in a Pyrex measuring cup; mix in the egg yolk and set aside.
• In another bowl, beat the egg white almost to soft peaks. Sprinkle in the sugar and continue to beat until the peaks are firm and glossy. Beat in the vanilla.
• Pour the buttermilk mixture into the dry ingredients and whisk until just mixed.
• Drop the whipped egg white onto the batter in dollops and fold in with a spatula until just incorporated.
• Pour the batter onto the hot waffle iron and cook until the waffle is crisp and nutty brown (follow the manufacturer's instructions for timing at first and then adjust to your liking).
• Set the waffle directly on the oven rack to keep it warm and crisp.
• Repeat with the remaining batter, holding the waffles in the oven (don't stack them).

Steps:

• Heat waffle iron.
• Combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.
• Whisk the milk, eggs, butter, and vanilla in another bowl.
• Whisk the milk mixture into the dry ingredients just until the dry ingredients are moistened (lumps are OK!).
• Pour about 1 cup (half the batter) into the center of your waffle iron. Bake according to your waffle iron until they are the crispness you enjoy.
