FLUFFY HOMEMADE WAFFLE RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat the waffle iron according to the manufacturer's directions.
• Place flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt in a bowl. Whisk to combine.
• In a small bowl, mix egg yolks, milk, and butter. Set aside.
• In a separate bowl, beat egg whites with a mixer on medium high speed until stiff peaks form. *see note
• Add egg yolk mixture to flour mixture and stir to combine. Fold in egg whites.
• Drop by large spoonfuls onto greased waffle iron, close the lid and cook about 3-5 minutes.

THE BEST BUTTERMILK WAFFLES

Steps:

• Preheat a waffle iron to medium-high.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs and vanilla. Whisk the buttermilk mixture into the flour mixture until a batter is formed. Whisk in the butter until incorporated, being careful not to overmix the batter.
• Spray both sides of the preheated waffle iron with nonstick cooking spray. Pour in enough batter to lightly cover the surface of the iron, about 1/3 to 3/4 cup, depending on its size. (Take into consideration that the batter will spread once the lid is closed.) Close the iron and cook until the waffles are a deep golden brown and slightly crisp, about 5 minutes. Repeat with the remaining batter. (If the waffle iron has a well-seasoned or nonstick surface, it may not be necessary to spray it between each batch.)
• Serve the waffles immediately with butter, syrup, jam, berries or yogurt.

• Preheat a waffle iron according to manufacturer's instructions.
• Spoon batter into the waffle iron and cook according to manufacturer's instructions.

PRECIOUS AUNT LILL'S PIZZALE WAFFLES

Steps:

• Instructions: Pre-heat Pizzalle iron as instructions for iron dictate.
• Beat together eggs until lemon colored and gradually add sugar. Add cooled margarine, flavoring, and brown sugar. Beat together until smooth. Gradually add flour, a little at a time. Batter will thicken, so if necessary, finish mixing by hand until batter is thoroughly mixed.
• Spray pre-heated iron with cooking spray. Place your iron on top of several layers of newspaper to catch the drippings as they cook. Drop 1 tablespoon of batter in center of waffle maker (the Teflon one with patterned plates is preferred). Using a potholder, hold cover of iron down for 1 to 2 minutes or until waffle is golden brown. Trim excess batter off the plates with a butter knife or soft spatula if batter oozes out the sides while they are cooking. This keeps clean-up to a minimum later on. Don't burn them! If top of iron sticks to batter when lifting, hold it down a few more seconds. When cooked properly, they should just have a slightly golden glow. Remove them with a fork, place on a flat surface and immediately while still hot trim the rough edges off with a sharp knife so they end up in a circular shape. Care for the iron like you would any teflon surface - don't scratch it.
• Cool waffles on flat surface, side by side -don't stack while hot or they'll get soggy. When completely cooled, sprinkle powdered sugar on them and serve on a pretty plate.
• These are delicious and they make wonderful edible gifts at holiday time or to bring to parties. You may also use the broken ones as mix-ins for ice cream, or may serve strawberries and coolwhip on top of them. They are best stored in a big tin with a well fitting lid. If you store them in plastic ware, they will get soggy.
