Golden Waffles

Ingredients:

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup buckwheat flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 3 eggs, separated
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1/3 cup vegetable oil
• 1 1/2 cups milk
• 1/3 cup butter
• maple syrup

Instructions:

Preheat a waffle iron. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flours well with the baking powder and salt. In a smaller bowl, combine the egg yolks, sugar and oil, then stir in the milk and add this mixture to the flour mixture, stirring well. In a clean, dry bowl, whip the egg whites until they hold soft peaks, then fold them into the batter. Using plenty of butter on the iron, add about 3/4 cup of batter at a time and bake according to the waffle-iron maker's instructions, or until the waffles are crisp and golden. Serve with maple syrup.
