My plan was to try half wheat flour / half almond meal, leaven by whipping the egg whites and yolks (seperately) and a pinch of baking soda / powder, use bacon drippings for the fat and salt, and experiment a little with the liquid. When beating the egg whites I added a teaspoon of sugar per a suggestion I found online.
So, this is what I ended up with...
Waffles Vorax:
- preheat oven to 250 degrees
- separate 2 eggs
- whip the whites with 1 tsp of sugar to stiff peaks, set aside
- whip the yolks until bright yellow
- whisk in 1/2 cup milk, 1/4 cup plain yogurt, 1/4 cup vodka
- whisk a couple TBS of warm bacon drippings
- sift together 1/2 cup white whole wheat flour, 1/4 tsp baking soda, 1/4 tsp baking powder
- mix into the dry team 1/2 cup almond meal
- mix the dry team into the wet team
- fold in the reserved whipped egg white mixture
- cook in waffle iron until browned
- stage in a single layer in a 250 degree oven
The result was a light waffle that held together well, had a nice hint of crispiness on the outside.
Next time: I might try mixing in a little buttermilk to the dairy mix.
