A Cure for What Ales You

Sorry, they did not remove the bad pun center.

Beer Waffles.

I didn't have these this morning. Yesterdays fine dining consisted of some white rice, a small piece of leftover roast chicken and some saltines that I rustled up from the kitchen late last night. I'm supposed to eat light and bland for a while, however I might kiss the first person that shows up with pistachio ice cream or a donair.

BUT when I'm feeling up to it I am going to make these. The beer replaces some of the usual leavening and makes an extremely crisp crust, light centered waffle.

Ingredients
2 cups self-rising flour
1 (12 fluid ounce) can or bottle beer (a light ale with a lot of bubbles works best)
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
1/4 cup milk
2 eggs, separated
1 1/2 tablespoon honey
1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
two pinches cinnamon and one of nutmeg or cardammon.

Directions
1.Preheat a waffle iron. Combine flour, beer, butter, milk, egg yolks, honey, spices and vanilla in a large bowl; stir until the mixture is smooth. In a separate bowl, beat egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gently fold egg whites into batter.

Spray the waffle iron with non stick cooking spray and cook until golden brown. Serve immediately. Ignore the plaintive looks from Barkley.
