Light, Crisp Waffles image

I finally found a recipe for waffles that stay crispy on the outside, yet soft on the inside. I found this at finecooking.com

Categories     Breakfast

Time 20m

Yield 6-8 waffles, 3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 cup buttermilk
1/4 cup milk
6 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 large egg, separated
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 200°F and heat the waffle iron.
  • Mix the flour, cornstarch, salt, baking powder, and baking soda in a medium bowl.
  • Measure the buttermilk, milk, and vegetable oil in a Pyrex measuring cup; mix in the egg yolk and set aside.
  • In another bowl, beat the egg white almost to soft peaks. Sprinkle in the sugar and continue to beat until the peaks are firm and glossy. Beat in the vanilla.
  • Pour the buttermilk mixture into the dry ingredients and whisk until just mixed.
  • Drop the whipped egg white onto the batter in dollops and fold in with a spatula until just incorporated.
  • Pour the batter onto the hot waffle iron and cook until the waffle is crisp and nutty brown (follow the manufacturer's instructions for timing at first and then adjust to your liking).
  • Set the waffle directly on the oven rack to keep it warm and crisp.
  • Repeat with the remaining batter, holding the waffles in the oven (don't stack them).
