Vick's Waffle Recipe

Here’s my waffle recipe. I’m not sure where I first found it, but I’ve been using it for years and it’s always a hit.

Wet ingredients:

• 3 eggs, separated
• 1/2 cup vegetable oil
• 1 1/2 cups milk
• 2 tsp vanilla

Dry ingredients:

• 1 3/4 cups flour
• 4 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp salt

1. Separate the eggs. Make sure that you don’t let any yolk get into the whites. Set the whites aside.
2. Mix the yolks, oil, milk, and vanilla together.
3. In a separate bowl, sift the flour, baking powder, and salt together.
4. Mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Don’t overmix, there should still be some lumps.
5. Beat the egg whites until they form stiff peaks.
6. Gentle fold the egg whites into the batter.
7. Cook according to your waffle iron’s instructions. My waffle iron takes a half cup of batter per waffle and makes 4 square waffles at a time.

Serve according to your preference. I like mine with maple syrup. If I’m feeling fancy, I’ll make some whipped cream and serve it with fresh fruit.
