Instructions
-
Prepare the egg whites: In a small bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Set them aside for later.
-
Combine dry ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, brown sugar, and flaked coconut. Set the dry ingredients aside.
-
Mix wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, evaporated milk, and melted butter until smooth.
-
Combine the wet and dry mixtures: Add the egg yolk mixture to the dry ingredients. Stir gently, mixing only until combinedโbe careful not to overmix.
-
Fold in the butterscotch chips and egg whites: Gently fold the butterscotch chips into the batter. Then, carefully fold in the beaten egg whites, mixing just enough to incorporate them. Be sure not to overwork the batter to keep the waffles light and airy.
-
Cook the waffles: Preheat your waffle maker, then pour the batter onto the hot surface, following your waffle makerโs instructions for cooking time. Typically, waffles should cook for 3 to 5 minutes, depending on the thickness of your batter and the heat of your waffle maker.
-
Serve: Once the waffles are golden and crispy, remove them from the waffle maker and serve immediately. Top with extra butterscotch chips, whipped cream, or your favorite syrup for an extra touch of sweetness.
Tips:
- For a slightly different flavor, feel free to add chopped nuts like pecans or walnuts into the batter.
- If you prefer a less sweet waffle, reduce the amount of brown sugar slightly, as the butterscotch chips will still provide a lot of sweetness.
- These waffles pair beautifully with a hot cup of coffee or fresh fruit for a balanced meal.
Enjoy your homemade Butterscotch Waffles, a treat thatโs both indulgent and satisfying, yet quick enough to enjoy any day of the week!
