Whole Wheat Waffles

I've been tinkering with this recipe for years and I finally got waffles are light and crunchy with a good flavor. This makes enough for my family of about 5 full eaters.

2 1/2 C whole wheat flour

1/3 C milk powder

1 t salt

2 t baking powder

1 t baking soda

2 1/4 C water

1/4 C lemon juice

1/4 C canola oil

3 eggs, separated

Combine dry ingredients. Mix water, lemon juice, oil and egg yolks in a separate bowl, then add to dry. Whip the eggs whites until stiff, then fold into waffle batter. Cook on hot waffle iron until browned.

Syrup:

1 C water

1/2 C brown sugar

2 T water

2 T cornstarch

1/2 t Mapeliene

2 T butter

Combine 1 C water and brown sugar in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Stir 2 T water and cornstarch together until dissolved, then quickly add to boiling water. Continue stirring until sauce thickens. Remove from heat. Add Mapeliene and butter. Stir until butter is melted.
