Extra-Light Waffles

Just your basic, All-American waffles recipe--it is from Fanny Farmer, after all--but separating the eggs makes all the difference in the world. All of a sudden waffles have moved from breakfast fare to brunch.

2 c. all-purpose flour 3 t. baking powder
1/2 t. salt 3 eggs, separated
1 3/4 c. milk 4 T. butter, melted
3 T. sugar  
  1. Combine the flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl.

  2. In a separate bowl, beat the egg yolks well, and add the milk and butter. Combine with the flour mix, and beat until smooth.

  3. Beat the egg whites until stiff--but not dry. Slowly add the sugar, continuing to beat. Mix a small portion (about 1/4) of the egg whites with the batter, stirring gently, then fold in the remainder of the egg whites.

  4. Bake in a lightly oiled, hot waffle iron.

6 full waffles (24 small squares)
