Crunchy And Light Waffles For Two Recipes

THE VERY BEST CRISPY WAFFLES

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk together flour, corn starch, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
• Make a shallow well in the dry ingredients and add buttermilk, vegetable oil, egg, and vanilla, and stir together until just combined.
• Allow batter to sit for 30 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 200°F and set a baking sheet inside to place the waffle(s) on after cooking to keep warm while you cook the rest of the batter.*
• Preheat waffle iron and cook batter according to your iron's instructions*, typically 4 to 6 minutes per waffle, until waffle is nicely golden and has mostly stopped releasing steam. Waffle may not initially seem crispy to the touch, but will crisp up out of the waffle maker.
• Top with melted butter and syrup if desired, and enjoy!

WAFFLES FOR TWO

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.

CRUNCHY AND LIGHT WAFFLES FOR TWO

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.

LIGHT, CRISP WAFFLES

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).

LIGHT AND CRISPY WAFFLES

Steps:

• Lightly spray waffle iron, and preheat.
• Stir together flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
• Beat egg whites until stiff (I usually use a whisk until they're fluffy).
• In another medium bowl, beat yolks; add milk and oil and gently stir to combine.
• Add yolk mixture to dry ingredients, blending well.
• Fold in the egg whites.
• Bake 1/3 - 1/2 cup batter for each waffle, depending on the size of the waffle iron.
• Serve hot (wonderful with strawberries and pure maple syrup).
