Equipment

  • A good belgian waffle maker.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbs baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 egg yolks lightly beaten
  • 1 ¾ cup milk
  • ½ cup canola oil
  • 2 egg whites stiffly beaten
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
 

  • Sift together the dry ingredients.
  • Combine yolks, milk and oil in a separate bowl.
  • Stir in the dry ingredients.
  • In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks develop. A handheld beater works well. Fold the egg whites into the batter and leave a few fluffs.
  • Bake at 375° F for about five minutes or until steam almost stops.
  • Serve hot with soft butter and heated real maple syrup.

Notes

A good belgian waffle iron with the ability to control the temperature is a must.  However, don’t trust the temperature setting on the waffle iron, they are notoriously inaccurate.  Use an infrared thermometer to directly measure the temperature of the waffle iron grid.
