Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 300°. Heat waffle iron until very hot. Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and kosher salt in a large bowl. Using an electric mixer, beat egg whites in a medium bowl until medium-soft peaks form. Whisk egg yolks, melted butter, buttermilk, and soda water in a medium bowl; gradually whisk into dry ingredients. Fold in egg whites.

Serve with butter and warm maple syrup.

  • Very good, but also very oily because there is double the amount of melted butter than any other waffle recipe I've used. I mixed the ham and grated cheese in with the dry mixture before combining it with the wet ingredients with success. I've also made this recipe with chopped thawed, wrung out spinach and grated cheddar. I will be experimenting with half the butter and increase the liquid/egg to make up for the decreased butter.

  • Two questions: Why twice as much butter as any other waffle recipe? Would it work just as well to mix the cheese and ham into the batter first?

  • This was pretty amazing. Get real ham as opposed to deli sliced ham...mind blown!
