Sweet and nutty waffles to warm any winter morning.
INGREDIENTS (for 4 servings):
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 3 eggs, separated
- 2 cups buttermilk
- 1/3 cup butter, melted
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1 2/3 cups finely chopped pecans
PREPARATION:
Preheat waffle iron. In a large mixing bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, sugar and baking soda. In a separate bowl, beat together egg yolks and milk. Add milk mixture, butter and oil to flour; stir gently to combine. Beat egg whites until stiff peaks have formed; fold into batter.
Spray preheated waffle iron with non-stick cooking spray. Pour mix onto hot waffle iron and sprinkle generously with chopped pecans. Cook until golden brown. Keep warm in oven while remaining waffles cook.
