Waffles

The cinnamon and pecans really give this waffle a decadent flavor, and the egg whites keep it light and fluffy. It's a little bit extra work than your typical waffle recipe. If you're serving breakfast for guests (especially over the holidays) or want to make someone's birthday extra special--this is a great waffle. I found it in Southern Sideboards/Southern Living Hall of Fame, Recipes from the Junior League of Jackson, Mississippi. It was posted by Mrs. Ewing Seligman, Los Angeles, CA.
