Whole Wheat Waffles

I got this recipe off the Homestead Happenings website. It is so good I had to post it. We've made it many times before, and decided to make it for breakfast this morning. I find them light and fluffy fresh, and when we're done we freeze the rest and use them like eggos in the morning... just they are so much tastier (yes, I've had eggos... can't stand them as they taste very fake).

Whole Wheat Waffles
Ingredients
4 cups whole wheat flour
2 Tbsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
4 beaten egg yolks
3 1/2 cups milk
1 cup melted butter
4 stiffly beaten egg whites

Mix dry ingredients together in a large bowl. In a smaller bowl combine egg yolks, milk, and butter. Stir this mixture into the dry ingredients. Gently fold in your egg whites. The whites do not need to be well mixed, it is fine to see a few fluffy bits in the batter. Bake in your waffle iron until golden brown.

These freeze well. Package them in between wax paper into your freezer bags so you can grab as many as you need.

We like to make a strawberry sauce for them. Take 2 cups of strawberries (we use frozen), mash them in a small saucepan and add 1/4 cup sugar. Bring to a boil. Reduce to medium heat and cook 5 minutes. Cool slightly. You can add whipped cream on top of that yet if you wish.
