Gluten Free Belgian Waffles

I tried different flours - each giving its own unique flavor and quality to my waffles. But finally, I am able to make WAFFLES, yummy waffles. I love topping them with whipped cream and syrup and serving them with a side of fresh fruit. I also love to double the recipe and freeze the leftovers so we can pop some in the toaster for a weekday treat.

Gluten/Wheat Free, Kid Friendly

¾ cup tapioca flour
½ cup rice flour
½ cup chickpea flour
¼ sorghum flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1teaspoon xanthan gum
½ teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
2 egg whites
2 cups milk
6 tablespoons oil
1 tablespoon vanilla


preparation
Preheat waffle iron. Mix all dry ingredients and set aside. Beat eggs with an electric mixer on high until fluffy but not firm. Slowly add milk, oil and vanilla. Slowly add dry mixture. Spoon batter onto waffle iron and cook according to the irons direction. Remove cooked waffles and let cool a moment on a wire rack to prevent the waffles getting soggy. Serve warm with your favorite toppings. Enjoy.
