Plain Waffles

We like to have waffles or pancakes on Fridays...I guess it's a reward for making through the week or something. Sometimes we do crazy things like add cinnamon and flax seed, but this time, we just wanted plain, regular waffles. I dug out the owner's manual that came with the waffle maker and found this recipe, and they are delicious! The best part is, the recipe made way more than we could eat. I froze the leftovers on a cookie sheet for about an hour, then placed them in freezer bags to on hand for a quick breakfast....your very own, homemade and better tasting, frozen waffles. Just pop them in the toaster or microwave when you want to eat them.

3 large eggs, separated
1-1/2 cups milk
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 cup flour
2 tsp baking powder
1 Tbl sugar
1/2 tsp salt

• Lightly grease and preheat waffle maker.
• In large mixing bowl, beat egg yolks, milk and oil until thoroughly mixed. Add flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Beat until just smooth.
• In small bowl, beat egg whites with mixer on high until stiff peaks form.
• With rubber spatula, gently fold the beaten egg whites into the mixture. Do not overmix.
• Pour batter onto the center of the waffle grid (Mine used about 1 1/3 cups-but your waffle maker may be a different size!)
• Close the lid and bake. Repeat with remaining batter.
