This is a terrific waffle recipe, the best we have tasted. These waffles are easy to make and have a great buttery pecan flavor.
2 eggs, separated
1-1/2 cups whole milk
2 tablespoons baking powder
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup butter, unsalted melted
1/2 cup pecans, chopped (walnuts may be substituted)
Preheat a waffle iron. Spray iron with pam or non-stick spray before first waffle. In a bowl, whip the egg whites, until stiff, but not dry. Set aside. In a separate bowl, food processor or blender, combine the egg yolks, milk, baking powder, flour and melted butter. Beat, until smooth. By hand, fold in the reserved egg whites and the chopped pecans. Proceed according to waffle iron manufacturer’s directions. These waffles tast great with maple syrup or your favorite toppings. Garnish with pecan halves.
