3
large eggs, separated
½
cup unsalted butter, melted
and cooled
1
teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Measure water into a large bowl.
Add the 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
and yeast; stir to dissolve. Let stand 10
minutes. In a separate bowl, combine
the flour, graham cracker crumbs, ¼
cup sugar, salt, ginger, and lemon zest;
stir to combine. Add the milk, egg yolks,
cooled melted butter and vanilla to the
yeast mixture. Stir until smooth. Add the
dry ingredients and beat until smooth,
using a hand mixer on low speed.
Cover with waxed paper and let stand
to rise in a warm, draft-free place for
30 minutes.
Beat the egg whites until stiff, but not
dry. Gently fold into the batter.
Preheat your Cuisinart
Express
on setting #4 or preferred
®
setting* (green indicator light will be
illuminated when preheated).
Use the measuring cup to measure out
one scoop of batter, spreading evenly
into waffle plate. Close lid and rotate
180˚ to the right and bake until beeper
sounds. Rotate waffle side 180˚ and
remove waffle. Repeat with remaining
batter. Waffles may be kept warm in a
low (200°F) oven. Place waffles
arranged on a cookie sheet on a rack in
the warm oven. Serve with lemon curd,
fruit, jam, powdered sugar, a warm fruit
syrup, or whipped cream.
For best results, do not open waffle/
omelet maker during cooking process.
Doing so will throw off the timing
mechanism.
*We recommend using setting #4 to
achieve a golden-brown, baked Belgian
waffle. Adjust the browning control if
you prefer lighter or darker waffles.
