Basic Waffle Batter
Recipe is from Crepes, Waffles and Pancakes! (Good Books, 2006) by Kathryn Hawkins
Ingredients
2 cups plain flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons extra-fine sugar (optional)
1 egg, separated
1 1/4 cups milk
1/4 stick unsalted butter, melted
Directions
Prepare and preheat the waffle irons or waffle machine as directed. Combine the flour with the baking soda, salt and sugar, if using, in a bowl and make a well in the center. Add the egg yolk and milk and gradually work into the flour using a whisk. Beat gently until smooth. Carefully stir in the melted butter.
In a grease-free bowl, whisk the egg white until stiff and carefully fold into the batter using a large metal spoon. Makes 12 waffles and serves six.
Suggestions
This batter contains the raising agent baking soda, so use the batter as soon as possible to ensure that the airy, spongy texture is retained. Add the extra-fine sugar if serving with a sweet topping.
