Light and Crispy Waffles

From "The Best of Pancake & Waffle Recipes" by Beatrice Ojakangas, a popular waffle recipe at my house.

• 1⁄2 cup  vegetable oil

Directions

1. Lightly spray waffle iron, and preheat.

4. In another medium bowl, beat yolks; add milk and oil and gently stir to combine.
5. Add yolk mixture to dry ingredients, blending well.
6. Fold in the egg whites.
7. Bake 1/3 - 1/2 cup batter for each waffle, depending on the size of the waffle iron.
8. Serve hot (wonderful with strawberries and pure maple syrup).
