Waffle , ButterMilk Waffle

8 tablespoons (1 stick) melted unsalted butter, plus, more for waffle iron

2 cups all-purpose flour

1/4 cup packed light-brown sugar

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon salt

3 large eggs, separated, room temperature

2 cups butter milk, or regular milk room temperature

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Grease waffle iron with a small amount of melted butter, and heat. In a large bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together egg yolks, buttermilk, melted butter, and vanilla. Pour into dry mixture, and combine.

In a medium bowl, beat egg whites until stiff but not dry. Fold whites into batter.

Ladle about 1/3 cup batter onto each section of

the waffle grid; spread batter almost to the edges. Close lid, and bake 3 to 5 minutes, until no steam emerges from waffle iron.
