Waffles

This recipe comes from the Better Homes and Gardens cookbook that my mom had when I was growing up. That page of the cookbook was so frequently used that eventually part of the page went missing because of ingredients sticking the pages together.

3 1/2 cups flour
6 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
4 eggs, yolks and whites separated
3 1/2 cups milk
1 cup oil

Beat egg whites until stiff; set aside. Sift together dry ingredients; set aside. Mix egg yolks, milk and oil. Add slowly to dry ingredients while whisking quickly. When it's completely combined, gently fold in stiff egg whites. Don't break down the whites any more than necessary because they are providing the air that will keep your waffles light. Serve immediately with your choice of toppings.
