Specialty Recipe

Buttermilk Waffles

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour

1/4 teaspoon baking soda

1/3 teaspoon double-acting baking powder

1 Tablespoon sugar

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 eggs, separated

1-3/4 cups buttermilk

6 Tablespoons melted butter

Confectioners' sugar

Fresh fruit in season

Whipped topping

Sift flour and add baking soda, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Beat egg yolks in a separate bowl. Add buttermilk and butter and beat. Combine liquid and dry ingredients with a few strokes. Beat egg whites until stiff and add to the rest of the batter.

I use a Teflon (non-stick) Belgian waffle maker. Spray the waffle maker lightly with non-stick cooking spray. The light will come on when the waffles are done. I serve them on glass plates with sifted confectioners' sugar. Then I use whatever fruit is in season to top. Top with whipped topping and sift more sugar. Use syrup to complement. Garnish with fruit or serve with a fresh fruit salad.
