Light and fluffy waffles

Everyone loves waffles, and we really aren't any different.  We have some keepers in our recipe file, Chocolate waffles, Cake waffles, and Yeasted waffles (you can find them all over in Young Adventures). When my dear friend Colleen pinned a recipe for waffles that her Dad made her when she was growing up, I had to try them.

These were light, fluffy and had a delicate flavor.  Everyone loved them, and we will be adding this recipe to our waffle collection.

Light and Fluffy Waffles

Ingredients:

1 3/4 cups all - purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

2 egg yolks

1 3/4 cups milk

1/2 cup canola oil

2 egg whites

Directions:

1.  In a large mixing bowl stir together flour, baking powder and salt.  Make a well in the center of the mixture.

2.  In a small bowl mix egg yolks slightly, stir in milk and oil.

3. Add the egg yolk mixture all at once to the dry mixture.  Stir just until moistened, there will be lumps.

4.  In another bowl mix egg whites until stiff peaks form.

5.  Gently fold whites into flour and egg yolk mixture, leave a few streaks of egg white.  Do not over mix.

6.  Spoon waffle batter onto your waffle iron and cook according to  manufacturer's directions.

Enjoy!
