Hot Tip


Note if you don’t have a waffle maker, this recipe can be made into an intensely fluffy and very light pancake

Pancake how-to The combination of whisked egg white makes these waffles as light as a feather! You could even make the batter in advance, store in the fridge overnight and just whisk it well before you start to cook.
