Servings

Prep Time

Ingredients

• 1-3/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tbsp granulated sugar
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 1-1/2 tsp salt
• 2 eggs, separated
• 1-3/4 cups milk
• 3 tbsp vegetable oil
• 2 cups coarsely grated sharp cheddar
• 6 slices bacon, cooked, drained and roughly chopped
• maple flakes* or maple syrup for serving

Directions

1. Preheat waffle iron to medium high.

2. Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder and salt together in a bowl and set aside.

3. In a separate bowl, whisk egg yolks, milk and oil together. Add flour mixture and stir until just combined. Stir in bacon and cheddar, being careful not to over-mix.

4. Beat egg whites in a small bowl until stiff but not dry. Fold whites into batter.

5. Spoon 1/2 cup batter into waffle iron. Close and cook until golden and crisp, about 5-6 minutes. Repeat with remaining batter.

6. To serve, drizzle with maple syrup, or for a crunchy alternative, sprinkle with maple flakes.

7. *Maple flakes are dried granules made from pure maple syrup. They pack the same great maple flavour without the stickiness. Look for a carton or bag in the maple syrup aisle.
