Yield 6 waffles

Number Of Ingredients 9

Nonstick cooking spray
2 cups all-purpose flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
Kosher salt
2 large eggs, separated
1 1/2 cups milk
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
6 slices bacon, cut in half
Maple syrup, for serving

Steps:

Spray a waffle iron with nonstick cooking spray and preheat it.
Sift together the flour, baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl. Beat the egg whites in a second medium bowl until stiff.
Beat the egg yolks with the milk and butter in a large bowl. Add the flour mixture, stirring until just blended. Fold in the beaten egg whites.
Place 2 halves of a bacon slice in each waffle grid and close the cover. Cook for 1 minute and then add a scant 1/2 cup batter to each waffle grid. Bake until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Serve with maple syrup.
