Part 4/6:
Combining Ingredients: Creating the Batter
With both wet and dry mixtures ready, it’s time to bring them together. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and mix until just combined; a few streaks of flour are fine. Remember, gentle handling is key, especially when folding in the whipped egg whites. This maintains the bubbles, ensuring your waffles are light and airy.
Scoop the beaten egg whites into the batter, folding delicately to keep the mixture light. A spatula helps in incorporating the ingredients without deflating the egg whites entirely.
