Light Crisp Vanilla Waffles

A waffle recipe that lives up to its name: these were very light, very crisp waffles that were delicious enough to eat on their own.

The batter was kept light with the addition of buttermilk, whipped egg whites and, 1st time I’ve seen this, club soda. A small amount of oil in the batter prevented them from being dry.

They reminded me of vanilla pizzelles, the Italian wafer cookies, crisp, lightly sweet with wonderful vanilla flavour. They’d make a great dessert…..
