Calories: 453kcal
Ingredients
- ¾ cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup cornstarch
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 Tablespoon sugar
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup buttermilk
- ⅓ cup vegetable oil
- 1 egg, separated
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pecans, chopped (optional)
- Garnish: chopped fruit, berries, chocolate chips, whipped cream
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 200 degrees.
- In a large bowl, combine the first 6 ingredients.
- In a medium bowl, whisk the buttermilk, oil, egg YOLK and vanilla. Pour into the dry mixture and whisk until just mixed. Let sit for 10 minutes.
- Using your Kitchen Aid or other electric mixer, beat egg white until stiff peaks form. Fold into batter.
- Heat waffle iron. When hot, pour about ¾ cup batter onto hot griddle. (Optional: I sprinkle chopped pecans on batter here) Close and invert. (I love the Presto FlipSide Belgian Waffle Maker) Cook until waffle is brown and crisp, about 4 minutes.
- Remove and place waffle directly on wire rack of oven to keep warm while cooking remaining waffles.
- Serve with your favorite accompaniments like butter, syrup, fresh fruit or powdered sugar.
