Equipment

  • 1 waffle iron

Ingredients

  • cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • cups milk
  • ½ cup canola oil

Instructions

  • Pre-heat the waffle iron (to 400ºF on "griddle" for the Cuisinart).
  • In a medium mixing bowl stir together flour, baking powder, and salt. Make a well in the center.
    1¾ cups all-purpose flour, 1 tsp baking powder, ¼ tsp salt
  • Separate the eggs – put the egg yolks in a large measuring cup and put the egg whites in the stand mixer bowl.
    2 large eggs
  • In the measuring cup, beat the egg yolks a little and then stir in the milk and oil.
    1¾ cups milk, ½ cup canola oil
  • Add the egg yolk mixture all at once to the dry mixture. Stir just till moistened (should be lumpy).
  • In the stand mixer, beat egg whites until stiff peaks form (tips stand straight up).
  • Gently fold the egg whites into the flour and egg yolk mixture, leaving a few fluffs of egg white. Do not overmix.
  • Spoon waffle batter into your waffle iron, making sure not to overfill it. Cook at 400ºF for several minutes, until the outside is that delicious golden brown color. Eat with abandon.
