Ed Santiago Recipes World's Best Waffles

World's Best Waffles

Unquestionably the best waffles ever made.

Pam Anderson -- goddess supreme of the kitchen -- applied her patient research skills to the art of waffle making. The results are incomparable.

Ingredients

Directions

1. Start preheating the waffle iron.
2. In a medium bowl, mix together flour , cornstarch , salt , baking powder and baking soda .
3. Combine buttermilk , milk , egg yolk and oil in a 2-cup Pyrex measuring cup.
4. In a small bowl, beat egg white to soft peaks. Sprinkle the sugar over it, and continue beating until stiff and glossy. Add vanilla .
5. Pour milk mixture into dry ingredients and whisk together until blended. Do not overbeat. Fold in the beaten egg whites.
6. Pour batter into waffle maker and cook as usual. I let mine cook a minute or two past where they stop steaming. When they stop sizzling, and are crisp to the touch, that's about right.

Notes

For a heavenly variation, sprinkle batter with chopped pecans immediately after pouring into waffle maker.
