Decadence at its best! Mmmm….
Let’s face it. Cruising is pretty great for many reasons. But, one of the more important, and traditional, characteristics of a cruise vacation is the food onboard. Each and every cruise line takes their cuisine very seriously. Modern cruise ships have upwards of 20 dining options with inspired flavors from around the world. Executive chefs on each ship master many culinary creations, but some of the most memorable are the sweet treats like those found at breakfast or during dessert.
Bring the decadent flavors of a cruise vacation home with Celebrity Cruises’ Xtremely Delicious Belgian Waffles
Ingredients:
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 3/4 cup buttermilk
- 1/4 cup milk
- 6 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 egg white
- 1 tablespoon white sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C). Preheat your waffle iron.
In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, cornstarch, salt, baking powder and baking soda.
Combine the milk, buttermilk and oil in a measuring cup. Whisk in the egg yolk with a fork, and set aside.
In a small bowl, beat egg white with an electric mixer until almost soft peaks. Gradually sprinkle in the sugar, while continuing to whip until thick and glossy. Stir in vanilla.
Pour the milk mixture into the dry ingredients, and whisk just until blended. Fold in the egg white mixture using a spatula.
Pour batter onto the hot waffle iron in the recommended amount for your iron. Close the iron, and cook until golden brown, usually when steam stops coming out of the iron.
Keep finished waffles in the warm oven directly on the rack. Do not stack, or they will become soggy.
