Crunchy and Light Waffles for Two

"Reincarnated from the Frugal Gourmet's recipe, this waffle batter is made air light by the addition of a beaten egg white to produce an exceptionally crisp waffle. Best made on an older waffle iron, the teflon ones can undercook your waffles. You may need to let it continue to cook for 30 seconds even after the light goes off for a nice crunchy waffle."

  1. Awful. All of this work for ONE waffle. Batter is so thin and tasteless.
     
  2. very bland, syrup could not save this
     
  3. only makes 1 waffle and does not taste that good!
     
  4. Hi, can i know how long can i leave it out in room temperature before making it, and how long can i keep this waffle batter in fridge before making it ?
     
  5. I make these for my toddler in our waffle iron. They are fairly plain but whip up quickly. We usually get 2.5-3 waffles out of it. Beats frozen and if you have an organized pantry it doesn't take any longer than toasting a frozen one!

I live in Long Beach, CA with my husband James, and our three dog babies. I love to cook, I started using the "Joy of Cooking" when I was 11 and still have it (though it's rather tattered!) to this day.
