Crunchy and Light Waffles for Two

Gillian Spence's Note:

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.

You have no idea how happy I was to find a waffles-for-two recipe! And this does just the trick. The waffles were really light and very tasty. Perfect with some butter and syrup! Thanks so much!

Just right for two! Very crunchy and light. The instructions for the non-stick waffle iron in the intro were very helpful.
