Waffles

Last week was Dona's birthday, and her favorite breakfast is waffles. The waffle recipe I use is pretty good, and we all like it. Whether you put syrup or something else on them, these waffles have nice flavor and are just as good toasted the next day!

Waffles

• 1/2 cup  tapioca flour
• 1/2 cup garbanzo bean flour
• 3/4 cup buckwheat flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 3 eggs, separated
• 4 tablespoons melted butter, margarine, or oil
• 1 1/2 cups milk (or 1 1/2 cups water, with 1/4 cup soy milk powder in the dry mix)

Beat the egg whites until stiff and set aside. Mix the dry ingredients together. Beat the egg yolks; add in the melted butter and milk beat to mix. Add in the dry ingredients in thirds, mixing each third in before adding the rest. Once all the dry ingredients are added in, gently fold in the beaten egg whites.

Once this is mixed, add, 1/2 cup at a time, into a waffle iron. Mine takes 4 minutes, but yours might be different.

We topped our waffles with the strawberry filling for the crepes I made for Valentine's Day. Using the same recipe, I also made a blueberry topping. It was good, but I had to add water because the blueberries didn't have as much moisture as the strawberries did.
