Ingredients
2 cups flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 3/4 cups buttermilk
2 eggs, separated
4 tablespoons [1/2 stick] butter, melted and cooled
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Vegetable oil for brushing on waffle iron
Possible toppings: Butter, Syrup [pref. Grade B], Superfine Sugar, Whipped Cream, Crème
Fraiche, Ice cream, sour cream, fresh fruit [bananas, blueberries, strawberries, papaya, etc.],
freshly grated nutmeg; cinnamon sugar; options are endless, really.
Method
Combine flour, sugar, salt, and baking soda [and cinnamon, if using]. Mix together the buttermilk
and the egg yolks. Stir in butter and vanilla. Brush the waffle iron lightly with oil and preheat it. Stir
the buttermilk mixture into the flour mixture. Beat the egg whites with a wire whisk or electric mixer
until they hold soft peaks. Stir them gently into the batter.
Ladle the batter onto the waffle iron and bake until the waffle is golden-brown, usually 3 to 5
minutes. Serve immediately, or keep warm for a few minutes in a low oven.
