Steps:

• Put flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, and spices in a sifter. Separate yolks and eggwhites, putting whites into small bowl and yolks into large bowl. Pour the milk into bowl containing egg yolks. Pour the canola oil into the milk/yolk mixture Whip egg whites until snow peaks form using the highest speed on hand mixer. The egg whites should double in size and amount. Always whip the egg whites first because if yolk gets on the whites then peaks will not form. Beat all liquid ingredients with hand mixer for about 1 minute. Sift dry ingredients into bowl with milk/yok canola oil mixture. Tilt bowl to 45 degree angle and beat mixture, pausing to scrape sides of bowl for about one minute until mixture appears smooth. Spoon egg whites into batter, chop eggwhites into small puff clowds with mixing spoon. Use a round 7-inch Waffle iron.
