Best waffles ever

Waffles are either really good or just bad…this is a black and white thing…no gray area on this issue. Eggos are awful, and most pancake/waffle house waffles are awful. In fact I hadn’t eaten a good waffle until I created this recipe. It is a spin on the BH&G Cookbook recipe. I can whip up a batch of these in 10 minutes and the guys have a good breakfast before school. The eggs, butter, 1/2 n 1/2, and syrup all are Wisconsin products.

Here’s how it goes:

Plug in and turn on the waffle iron to a high setting. I have a Cuisinart waffle iron and I put it on 6 which is the highest setting.Melt one stick of butter in the microwave (usually two minutes)Add 1 3/4 cup of 1/2 n 1/2

Separate 2 eggs. Add the 2 egg yolks to the butter and 1/2 n 1/2 mixture

Put the whites in your mixer bowl, attach the whisk, and let it rip on high until they are stiff.

In another bowl put 1 3/4 cup of unbleached white flour

Add 1 tablespoon baking powder

Add 1/4 tsp salt. Stir this with a fork until mixed.

Fold in the liquid ingredients using a rubber spatula. Mix well but don’t try to get rid of the lumps.

Fold in the egg whites. Mix until lightly combined but streaky with the egg whites. Don’t over mix.

Put it in the waffle maker and bake it up.

Serve these with the best maple syrup.
