INGREDIENTS
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs, separated
- 1 3/4 cups milk or dairy-free milk
- 1/2 cup oil vegetable or canola oil
- Tabañero Black Cherry Hot Sauce
- Maple syrup
- Fruit and other toppings
INSTRUCTIONS
- In a large bowl, combine all of your dry ingredients – flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Separate the egg yolks and whites into two different mixing bowls, and use a hand mixer to beat the egg whites until they form stiff peaks.
(Pro Tip: Be careful not to get any yellow egg yolk in with the egg whites or they wont beat to stiff peaks properly.) - In another mixing bowl, combine your wet ingredients – milk, oil of your choice, egg yolks, and a few dashes of Tabañero Black Cherry Hot Sauce.
- Mix your wet ingredients thoroughly, then slowly stir in the dry ingredients.
- Gently fold in your beaten egg whites, careful not to over-mix.
- Once combined, you’re ready to cook your waffles! Spoon the batter into a preheated and greased waffle iron and cook according to the waffle maker's instructions.
- For some extra heat, mix a few extra dashes of our Black Cherry Hot Sauce with your syrup.
- Serve with your favorite toppings. Ours include blueberries, strawberries, blackberries, and, of course, cherries!
