Cuisinart WAF-2B manual Chocolate Brownie Waffles, Cinnamon Waffles

Stir yeast and sugar into warm water in a small bowl; let stand until foamy, about 3 to 5 minutes. Warm butter and milk together in a small saucepan over low heat so that the butter melts but the milk does not exceed 110˚ (if temperature is over 110°F, allow to cool to 105–110° before continuing). Set butter and milk mixture aside. Place the flour and cornstarch in a separate bowl and stir; reserve.

In a large bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, milk and butter mixture, yeast mixture, 1⁄4 cup of the sugar, salt, and vanilla. Stir in the milk and flour/cornstarch mixture alternately, ending with the flour. Cover with plastic wrap. Let stand until mixture is doubled in volume, about an hour. Preheat your Cuisinart® Waffle Iron.

Whip egg whites until frothy, and then add remaining tablespoon of sugar. Continue to whip until firm peaks form. Gently fold whites into waffle batter using a large rubber spatula.

When the iron is ready, the audible signal will sound and green indicator light will illuminate. Pour 3⁄4 cup batter onto the center of lower grid; spread batter using a heatproof spatula to within 1⁄2 inch of the edge of the grid. Close lid of waffle iron – green indicator light will turn off. When audible signal sounds and green indicator light turns on again, waffle is ready. Open lid and carefully remove baked waffle. Repeat with remaining batter.
