Ingredients

Units
  • 2 1/4 cups whole wheat pastry flour
  • 2 tablespoons cornmeal
  • 3/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 large eggs, separated
  • 1 3/4 cups buttermilk
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Preheat waffle iron.Whisk flour, cornmeal, sea salt and baking soda in a mixing bowl. Whisk egg yolks with buttermilk and melted butter. Beat egg whites until they hold a stiff peak. Add egg yolk mixture slowly to dry ingredients while stirring with a spatula until just mixed together (there will still be lumps and maybe a few patches of flour). Gently fold in the egg whites until just mixed together. (It’s important not to over mix).
  2. Using a ladle, spoon batter onto waffle iron and cook until deep brown. Serve immediately.
  3. If you are cooking for a crowd, simply preheat the oven to 200°F and place a cooling rack on top of a baking sheet. When the waffles are cooked place them on the cooling rack/baking sheet and place in the oven to keep warm.
