Art of Gluten-Free Baking

Special Equipment Needed

-waffle iron (I use a Belgian waffle iron)

-hand mixer

Ingredients

2 C Jeanne's Gluten-Free All-Purpose Flour Mix

1 TBL aluminum-free double-acting baking powder

1 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp salt

1 TBL sugar (optional)

4 TBL butter, melted

3 large eggs, separated

1 1/2 C buttermilk (or milk w/1 1/2 tsp vinegar whisked in)

-Preheat waffle iron

-in a medium bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar. Mix thoroughly

-in a small saucepan, melt butter and allow to cool slightly

-in a medium bowl, beat egg whites until they form stiff peaks. Set aside

-in a large bowl, whisk egg yolks. Whisk in buttermilk and melted butter

-with a large spoon, stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Do not overmix--batter should have lumps

-fold egg whites into batter with a rubber spatula

My waffle iron is seasoned from years of use, so I don't need to grease it. If yours needs greasing, do it now.

For each waffle, pour in about 1 C of batter (this is the amount my 8" iron needs, yours may need more or less). Lower lid. Allow to cook 3-5 mins--or as long as needed to create a deep golden brown waffle.

When waffle is done, remove from iron and add the next cup of batter. Repeat until all batter is used. I get about 4 1/2 waffles out of my iron with this recipe.

Enjoy!
