Peter's Whole Wheat Buttermilk Belgian Waffles

Based on Peter's Whole Wheat Buttermilk Pancakes.

Melt in large frying pan:

• 1 to 2 tbsp butter

Place in a mixing bowl:

• ¾ cup all purpose flour
• ¾ cup whole wheat flour
• 1 ½ tsp sugar
• ¾ tsp salt
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp baking soda

Preheat the waffle iron (Belgian iron preferred).

Beat in a separate bowl:

• 2 or 3 egg yolks (separate the whites)

Beat in melted butter.

Add (slowly at first):

• 1 ½ cups buttermilk
• ¼ cup water

Add liquid to dry ingredients and mix with a few swift strokes. Adjust for a thick soupy consistency.

Whip the egg whites until fluffy but not dry, then fold in to the batter with a rubber spatula.

Lightly brush oil on waffle iron grids before adding batter.

Cook until golden and crispy.

Either eat immediately or keep in a warm oven directly on the rack.

Serve with good maple syrup, yogurt, and sliced bananas.

Ready to come off the waffle iron.
