Step-By-Step Instructions
Step 1: Prepare and Separate the Egg Whites
- Prepare Equipment: Make sure you have a stand mixer and a large mixing bowl available. Start Preheating your Waffle Iron.
- Separate the Eggs: Carefully separate the egg whites from the yolks, placing the whites in the bowl of a stand mixer and the yolks separately in a large mixing bowl.
- Add Egg Yolks: Add the egg yolks to the large mixing bowl.
- Whip the Egg Whites: Use the stand mixer to whip the egg whites on high until stiff peaks form. This step is crucial for achieving the light and crispy texture of the waffles.
Step 2: Mix the Dry and Wet Ingredients
- Melt the Butter: Melt the unsalted butter and let it cool.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In the large bowl with the egg yolks, mix together the almond flour, tapioca starch, arrowroot flour, baking powder, salt, and coconut sugar.
- Add Milk and Butter: Pour the raw milk and cooled melted butter into the large bowl with the dry ingredients and egg yolks. Mix until everything is well combined. The batter should have a thick but pourable consistency.
Step 3: Incorporate Egg Whites
- Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the contents of the large bowl into the stand mixer with the whipped egg whites. If your stand mixer is small, you may need to add the whipped egg whites to the large bowl instead. Mix gently to combine, ensuring the batter remains airy and light.
Step 4: Cook the Waffles
- Cook the Waffles: Pour the batter into the preheated waffle iron. Make sure not to overfill as the waffles will rise during cooking. Cook until the waffles are golden brown and crisp.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy
- Serve: Top the waffles with your favorite fruits, butter, pure maple syrup or raw honey and serve.
Step 6: Freeze for Later
- Freeze: To freeze the waffles, lay them in a single layer on a cooling rack and place in freezer. Once fully frozen, transfer them to a freezer-safe ziplock bag.
- Reheat: When ready to eat again, toast straight from the freezer for a quick and convenient breakfast, snack or gluten free, seed oil free, sugar free and corn free bread option.
