Steps:
- Sift dry ingredients in one bowl. Separate one of the eggs. Add the yolk and the rest of the wet ingredients together and whisk. Beat the egg white in a clean bowl until peaks form. Add the wet into the dry, mixing until just combined. Fold in the egg white. Pour into a preheated greased waffle iron, and I cook mine for 3-4 minutes with my waffle iron. This recipe yields 16 small square waffles for me (using just under 1/3 cup of batter per waffle). These freeze well.

THE BEST HEALTHY WAFFLES (LOW FAT)
These are basically the only waffles I make. They are super simple, and a healthy, filling breakfast. I use Robin Hood Nutri Flour Blend for these. You can add fresh fruit or chocolate chips to the batter for a twist. I have also make chocolate waffles with this recipe, substituting milk for chocolate milk and adding some cocoa and a handful of chocolate chips.

- To make your waffles extra fluffy, separate the egg whites and yolks and beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Then, fold the egg whites into the batter gently.
- If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of regular milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
- For a crispy waffle, cook it on a hot waffle iron. If your waffle iron is not hot enough, the waffles will be soggy.
- Don't overcrowd the waffle iron. Cook one waffle at a time to ensure that it cooks evenly.
- Serve your waffles immediately with your favorite toppings, such as butter, syrup, fruit, or whipped cream.
