Waffles

With my new waffle maker I got for Christmas I have been trying several waffle recipes and this is one we like the best. It is a little crispy on the outside and soft in the center. According to the recipe book, if use reduced fat sour cream and 1% milk one waffle will only cost 274 calories.

INGREDIENTS:
1 3/4 c flour
2 1/2 Tbls sugar
1 Tbls baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
3 large eggs, separated
2 c sour cream
1 c milk
1/4 c butter, melted

Preheat waffle iron. Into a large bowl, sift the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. In a small bowl, beat egg yolks, sour cream and milk with a mixer on high. Stir into dry ingredients. Add butter. In a clean bowl, with clean beaters and the electric mixer on high, beat the egg white until stiff but not dry. Using a wire whisk, fold into the flour mixture just until the whites disappear. Bake the waffles according to the waffle iron manufacturer's directions. If the batter becomes too thick, add a little more milk.

For Blueberry Waffles: Prepare as above, folding 1 c washed, fresh blueberries and 1 tsp vanilla extract into batter just before folding in egg whites.
