These are not a sweet waffle! I use them to serve creamed beef or chicken for a quick, easy supper. They are very light, very tasty, and they smell heavenly.

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon garlic salt
1 teaspoon dried parsley
½ teaspoon dried rosemary
¼ teaspoon dried tarragon
1 ½ cups shredded smoked Gouda cheese
2 cups buttermilk
3 eggs, separated
⅔ cup light sour cream
½ cup vegetable oil

Steps:

In a large bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, garlic salt, parsley, rosemary and tarragon. Stir in the shredded Gouda. Set aside.
In another bowl, mix together the egg yolks, buttermilk, sour cream and vegetable oil until well blended. Pour the wet ingredients into the flour mixture, and stir until just blended. In a separate clean bowl, whip the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Fold into the waffle batter.
Heat the waffle iron, and grease with vegetable oil spray. Use the recommended amount of batter for each waffle according to your iron. Close the lid, and cook until golden brown. Waffles can be held in a warm oven while the others are cooking. Serve with creamed beef or chicken.

SAVORY WAFFLES

"One thing my kids really love," says Chef Linton Hopkins, "is when it's raining outside at lunchtime and we make a batch of savory waffles. Instead of sugar and syrup, we just fold in Parmesan and Gruyère, if I have some sitting in the refrigerator, and salt and pepper. We have a waffle iron that has shapes of animals and a barn, so I ask my kids, 'Do you want to be the pig today? Or the chicken? Or have a cow?'?" Try adding herbs and other seasonal produce, like pumpkin puree, to the batter instead of cheese. In the springtime you can add sautéed and chopped asparagus to the batter.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

2 cups waffle and pancake mix
2 eggs
2 cups milk
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Salt and pepper
3/4 cup grated rennet-free Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup grated rennet-free Gruyère or similar cheese

Steps:

Preheat oven to 200 degrees and place a waiting plate to warm inside. Heat a waffle maker until a flick of water beads and bounces around.
In a bowl, add waffle mix, eggs, milk, oil, salt and pepper, and mix until just combined, adding more milk if the mix is too thick. It should be the consistency of pudding. Then fold in the cheeses.
Lightly butter the waffle maker, and spoon judicious dollops of the mix onto the center of the hot waffle iron and spread just a bit. The mix will spread when the lid closes and expand as it cooks, so adding too much will be a bit messy as it bubbles out the sides.
As the waffles finish, use a fork to lift them off and put them in the oven to stay warm while the rest are made. Waffles are best served warm. Freeze any leftover waffles to enjoy later.
