Sweet Biscuit Waffles

Avariation of a centuries-old classic waffle from Belgium.

Makes 12 waffles

2–3 ounces sweet biscuits, such as arrowroot cookies

22⁄3cups lowfat milk

1⁄4cup unsalted butter

2cups unbleached, all-purpose flour

1⁄2tablespoon baking powder

1⁄2teaspoon baking soda

2tablespoons granulated sugar

1⁄2teaspoon salt

2large eggs, separated

Place biscuits in a large mixing bowl. Place milk and butter in a small saucepan over medium low and heat until butter is melted. Pour warm milk and butter over biscuits and stir until they are dissolved, about 1 minute. If the mixture still appears very thick add another 1⁄2 cup of milk so that the mixture whisks easily. To the milk mixture, whisk in flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, salt, and egg yolks until mixture is well blended and smooth. Preheat your Cuisinart® Waffle Iron.

Whip egg whites to firm, but not dry, peaks using an electric mixer. Carefully fold whites into batter in two additions, using a large rubber spatula, until the whites and batter are completely incorporated.

When iron is ready, the audible signal will sound and green indicator light will illuminate. Pour

3⁄4 cup batter on 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.
