Weekend Waffles

Ever had a recipe you find you love and use so much that the book it came from is stained, tattered, and torn so much you decide you better write it down? This one comes from the instruction booklet that came with the waffle maker that my sister, Jennifer, gave to me many years ago - in fact over 16 years ago! My family loves this recipe and asks for it often. I think it is the fluffy egg whites that make it so delightful.

Ingredients:
1 cup flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon sugar
3 eggs, separated
1 cup milk
4 tablespoons oil
1 teaspoon vanilla

Directions:
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Set aside. Beat egg whites until stiff. Add milk and egg yolks to flour mixture. Stir until smooth. Add oil and vanilla to batter and mix well. Fold egg whites into the batter. Pour about 2/3 to 3/4 cup of batter in to the middle of the waffle baker. Cook 5 to 6 minutes or until golden brown. Makes 4-6 waffles.
