Fluffy waffles

Ingredients

• 1 cup all purpose flour
• 1 tsp sugar
• 1 tsp baking powder

• 1 tbsp melted butter
• 1 cup milk
• 1 egg, separated

Directions

1. Turn on your waffle iron and heat to temperature. Grease if necessary.
2. In a small bowl, beat the egg whites on high until they form stiff peaks. Set aside.
3. In a large bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Then pour in the melted butter, milk, and egg yolk and briefly beat ingredients together until smooth. (Or use a whisk or spoon.)
4. Gently fold in the beaten egg whites, making sure to fold in one continuous direction.
5. Pour the waffle batter into your waffle iron and cook according to the manufacturer's directions.
6. Serve right away. Smother waffles with maple syrup, fresh fruit, or anything you desire!

Tips

• Recipe yields approx 6 waffles, serving 2-3 people.
• Waffles are best served fresh out of the griddle. They will be slightly less crispy if you keep them warm in the oven before serving.
• Refrigerate any extra waffles, and reheat in the toaster!
