Yogurt Waffles

Yogurt Waffles

2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder1/2 teaspoon baking soda2 tablespoons butter or margarine2 cups plain lowfat yogurt2 tablespoons brown sugar1 egg, separated, plus 1 egg yolk
1 In a large bowl stir together the flour, baking powder and baking soda.
2 Melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat. When the butter is melted, remove the pan from the heat and stir in the yogurt and sugar; set aside.
3 In another large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat the egg white until stiff but not dry; set aside.
4 Lightly beat the egg yolks; add the yolks and the yogurt mixture to the dry ingredients and stir to combine. Stir half of the beaten egg white into the batter, then fold in the remaining egg white.
5 Spray a waffle iron with nonstick cooking spray and preheat it. (If your waffle iron does not have a nonstick surface, spray it with nonstick cooking spray before heating it. Do not respray the hot iron.) Using C cup of batter for each individual waffle, pour the batter onto the waffle iron and spread it with the back of a spoon (it is thicker than the usual waffle batter). Cook the waffles about 4 minutes, or until crisp and brown. Repeat with the remaining batter.
