Plain Sweet Waffles

A few years ago, I tasted my first waffle. What an explosion in my mouth! The feel of the hot mixed with the cold of icecream, and the sweet mixed with plainness... What a combination. Well last week, I bought myself a waffle machine for only $20. It shocked me just how easy they are to make. It came with 3 different kinds of waffles to make, all of which I intend on tasting.

- 1 1/2 cups plain flour                        
- 1/2 cup self raising flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 cup caster sugar
- 2 eggs, separated
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 100g butter, melted

1. Preheat your waffle machine for 10 minutes.

2. Sift the flours and baking powder together in a large bowl. Stir in sugar and combine well.

3. Combine the egg yolks with the milk and whisk until smooth.

4. To the dry ingredients, add the egg and milk mixture. Add the melted butter and stir with a wooden spoon until smooth.

5. In a clean glass bowl, whisk egg whites until stiff peaks form Gently fold into the mixture in 2 batches.

6. When the waffle machine is ready and heated, pour 1/3 cup of your mixture onto the centre of the bottom plate. Close the lid and cook for 5 minutes.

7. Repeat with remaining batter.

8. Serve with a scoop of icecream ad a drizzle if your favourite topping.
