Buttermilk Belgian Waffles

Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose Flour
• ¼ teaspoons Baking Soda
• 1-½ teaspoon Baking Powder
• 1 Tablespoon Granulated Sugar
• ½ teaspoons Salt
• 2 whole Eggs, Separated
• 1-¾ cup Buttermilk (See Note)
• 6 Tablespoons Butter, Melted

Preparation Instructions

Note: If you don’t have buttermilk in the house, you can make some by mixing the same amount of milk and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar.

Sift together the flour, baking soda, baking, powder, granulated sugar, and salt in a large bowl.

In a small bowl beat the egg yolks. Add to the buttermilk and melted butter and beat.

In another small bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff but not dry (it should form peaks and hold their shape.)

Add the buttermilk mixture to the dry ingredients, whisk until smooth. Then add the egg whites in and fold them in.

Preheat your waffle maker to 230ºF to 240ºF. Put some of the batter in the machine (follow directions for the waffle maker that you have). Butter and put on any toppings that you want on it (strawberries, syrup, fruit, etc.).
