How to Make Aunt Flo's Waffles

  1. Separate one large egg, placing the white in a small mixing bowl and the yolk in a measuring cup.
  2. Lightly beat the egg yolk in the measuring cup.
  3. Add 1 tablespoon of oil and 1/4 cup of milk to the beaten yolk. Whisk until well combined.
  4. In a large bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1 tablespoon sugar.
  5. Gently stir the wet ingredients (from step 3) into the dry ingredients (from step 4) until just combined.
  6. In a separate bowl, beat the egg white with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form.
  7. Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the batter until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  8. Heat a lightly oiled waffle iron or griddle over medium-high heat. Pour 1/2 of the batter onto the hot surface for each waffle.
  9. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Cooking time may vary depending on your appliance.
  10. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings, such as butter, warm maple syrup, powdered sugar, and fresh strawberries.
