Spelt Belgian Waffles


(I am NOT a photographer)

I got this recipe from here and changed it to spelt so that I could eat it.

2 eggs, separated
2 cups milk
2 cups spelt flour*
1 Tbsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/3 cup oil

Preheat waffle maker.  Put egg whites in stand mixer (such as Kitchen Aid) and mix on low, gradually increasing speed to high so as not to spill; beat until stiff.  Transfer egg whites to another bowl and add remaining ingredients to stand mixer bowl.  Beat on low until moistened.  Increase speed to medium; mix until smooth.  By hand, gently fold in beaten egg whites.  Pour 1/2 to 2/3 cup batter** over grids.  Close waffle maker and bake until steam no longer escapes, about 3-5 minutes.  Repeat.  Serve hot with your favorite topping.

*I used 1/2 cup whole spelt flour and 1 1/2 cups light spelt flour

** I used my flip waffle maker and it used 2/3 cup batter
