Dad's Waffles

 1 cup flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1 Tbs sugar
2 Tbs oil
1 cup milk
1 egg separated
1 tsp vanilla

Directions

Leaving out the egg, mix together all ingredients in a large bowl.

Using separate glass or metal bowl(avoid plastic bowls as they often contain residues of oil and would compromise your efforts) Separate the yolk. Use the hand method by cracking the egg and balancing the yolk between the shells while releasing the whites. Add yolks to batter. Add a pinch of salt to the whites and start beating. Always use an electric mixer. The salt aids in the stability of the foam as it reacts with the proteins and makes them more firm.

The egg whites are done when you can cut through them with a knife and a line remains or when removing the mixer perky peaks should appear.

Fold whites into batter about 20 times. Do not over mix!

Check waffle iron to be sure it is hot.

Using a measuring cup pour batter into HOT waffle iron.
