Waffles

Waffles

2 C. buttermilk

2 eggs separated

1 t. baking soda

1 t. salt

2 C. flour

4 T. shortening or oil

Beat the egg whites until stiff and set aside. Heat the waffle iron.

Add the flour, salt and baking soda to a bowl and mix to combine. In a small bowl beat the egg yolks with some of the buttermilk. Add the yolk mixture, remaining buttermilk and oil to the flour and blend well. Fold in the egg whites until just blended.

Spray with oil the grids on the waffle iron. Ladle or pour enough batter to cover two-thirds of the grid. Close the waffle grill and cook until the steam stops, about 5 minutes. When the waffle is done, lift the lid and remove the waffle with a fork. Repeat with remaining batter.
