Sweet Biscuit Waffles
A variation of a centuries-old classic
waffle from Belgium.
Makes 12 waffles
2–3 ounces sweet biscuits, such as
arrowroot cookies
2
2
⁄3 cups lowfat milk
1
⁄4 cup unsalted butter
2 cups all-purpose flour
1
⁄2 tablespoon baking powder
1
⁄2 teaspoon baking soda
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1
⁄2 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs, separated
Place biscuits in a large mixing bowl. Place milk
and butter in a small saucepan over medium
low and heat until butter is melted. Pour warm
milk and butter over biscuits and stir until they
are dissolved, about 1 minute. If the mixture still
appears very thick add another
½
cup of milk so
that the mixture whisks easily. To the milk mix-
ture, whisk in flour, baking powder, baking soda,
sugar, salt, and egg yolks until mixture is well
blended and smooth. Preheat your Cuisinart

Waffle Iron.
Whip egg whites to firm, but not dry, peaks
using an electric mixer. Carefully fold whites
into batter in two additions, using a large rubber
spatula, until the whites and batter are com-
pletely incorporated.
When iron is ready, the audible signal will sound
and green indicator light will illuminate. Pour
¾
cup batter on the center of lower grid; spread
batter using a heatproof spatula to within
½
inch
of the edge of the grid. Close lid of waffle iron
– green indicator light will turn off. When audible
signal sounds and green indicator light turns
on again, waffle is ready. Open lid and carefully
remove baked waffle. Repeat with remaining
batter.
