Old Fashioned Waffles with Raspberry Sauce

 

1 cup flour

2 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

3 tablespoons shortening

1 tablespoon sugar

3/4 cup milk

2 eggs, separated

1/4 cup powdered sugar for topping

Non-stick cooking spray

 

Raspberry Sauce:

2 pints raspberries (fresh)

1/4 cup sugar

1 tablespoon honey

 

To make sauce, pour honey and sugar over raspberries in a medium bowl and stir

together. Cover and place in refrigerator 2 hours or overnight.

 

Preheat waffle iron.

Separate 3 eggs. In a medium bowl, beat egg whites on high speed for 5-7 minutes

until stiff. While egg whites are beating, sift together baking powder, salt and

sugar in a small bowl. Blend shortening into flour mixture with a pastry blender

or a fork and set aside. Turn off mixer and set egg whites aside. Beat egg yolks

in large bowl on medium speed. Add milk and beat for one minute. Add sifted dry

ingredients and mix only until blended. Fold in stiffly beaten egg whites. Spray

waffle iron with nonstick cooking spray. Bake in preheated waffle iron until

crispy, golden brown.

Drizzle each serving plate with raspberry sauce. Place waffle on top of the

sauce. Pour raspberries and sauce over the waffle and sprinkle with powdered

sugar.
