Sweet Biscuit Waffles

Avariation of a centuries-old classic waffle from Belgium.

Makes 20 waffles

4–5 ounces sweet biscuits, such as arrowroot cookies

3cups lowfat milk

12cup unsalted butter

4cups all-purpose flour

1tablespoon baking powder

1teaspoon baking soda

14cup granulated sugar

12teaspoon salt

3large 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. To the milk mixture, whisk in flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, salt, and egg yolks until mixture is a smooth batter. 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 112 cups batter onto the center of the lower grid; spread batter using a heatproof spatula to within 12 inch of the edge of the grid. Close lid of waffle iron – green indicator light will turn off. When audible signal sounds and green indica- tor light turns on again, waffle is ready. Open lid and carefully remove baked waffle. Repeat with remaining batter.
