Waffles

Plain Waffles

Chocolate Chip Waffles


Blueberry Waffles


Ingredients

* 1 cup milk (whole, skim, whatever you have on hand)
* 1 cup sour cream
* 2 egg whites
* 2 egg yolks
* 1 tbsp granulated sugar
* 3 tablespoons butter, melted and slightly cool
* 1 tsp vanilla
* 2 tsp baking powder
* 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
* 1 tsp baking soda
* Pinch kosher salt
* Handful of blueberries, chocolate chips, or whatever you heart desires (optional)

Directions
1. Heat your waffle iron. Grease just before adding the batter to the iron.
2. Beat the egg whites for about 2 minutes until stiff peaks form.
3. Combine the wet ingredients (milk, sour cream, egg yolks, butter, vanilla and sugar)
4. Whisk the dry ingredients together (flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt).
5. Combine the wet and dry ingredients, mix gently. Fold in the egg whites.
6. If you are adding a "mix-in", fold these in after folding in the egg whites.
7. Spoon onto your hot, greased waffle iron. Cook as directed by your waffle iron.
8. Enjoy!

Notes

I had sour cream on hand, and I used whole milk because that was the type of milk on the fridge. Folding in the egg whites really lightens the batter.

  1. Just made the waffles and they were delicious. H and O are not going to believe it but I did not put any chocolate chips in! Just good old virgin waffles. Although we didn't have any sour cream on hand so I used a bit of heavy cream and put a little more milk than called for. Also just for funsies I used half all purpose flour and half whole wheat.
    Successful recipe!
