Waffles - Buttermilk

Ingredients:

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup whole-wheat flour
• ¼ cup packed light brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• ½ teaspoon cinnamon
• ¼ teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• 1 ½ cups buttermilk
• 2 large eggs, separated, at room temperature
• ½ cup (1 stick) butter, melted
• 2 tablespoons honey
• butter and maple syrup, for topping

In a medium-size bowl, combine both flours, brown sugar, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. In another medium-size bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg yolks, butter, and honey. Pour this mixture into the dry ingredients, stiffing with a few quick strokes to form a lumpy batter. In a small bowl beat the egg whites, and then fold them into the batter. Cook the waffles ~ 1.5-2 minutes, until golden brown or their edges look dry & they do not stick to the grids. Transfer them to the oven (200 degrees), placing them directly on the rack so they will stay crisp until serving time.
