Maple Pecan Waffles Recipe
A sweet and nutty waffle recipe. A perfect addition to your brunch time feast!
Servings 8 large waffles
Ingredients
- 2 stiff beaten egg whites
- 4 Tablespoons sugar
- 1 3/4 cup all purpose flour
- 3 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 beaten egg yolks
- 1 1/4 cup milk
- 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 3 Tablespoons butter divided
- 2 cups Fisher Nuts Pecan Halves coarsely chopped
- Additional Fisher Nuts Pecan Halves and maple syrup for topping
Instructions
- Beat egg whites until stiff. Beat in sugar and set aside.
- Combine together flour, baking powder and salt.
- In a separate bowl, combine egg yolks, milk, oil and maple syrup. Beat in dry ingredients. Add oil and beat until well blended.
- Fold in the egg whites. Do not over mix, but make certain the egg whites are evenly distributed in the batter.
- Preheat your waffle iron.
- For each waffle, melt a small pad of butter onto the waffle iron. Add 1/4 cup pecans (or a generous handful) to the waffle iron. Close and allow pecans to toast for 2 minutes. Open the lid and add the amount of waffle batter your waffle iron recommends (typically 1/4 cup - 1/2 cup batter). Close and allow to cook until done, approximately 4 minutes. (Time may vary depending on your waffle iron.)
- Carefully remove the cooked waffle, and place on a pan, pecan side up, to warm in the oven until all of the waffles are cooked.
- Place leftover Fisher Nuts Pecan Halves for garnish onto the waffle iron with melted butter. Toast for 2 minutes.
- Top cooked waffles with extra toasted pecans and maple syrup.
