Peanut Waffles With Butterscotch Sauce Recipe

Peanut Waffles With Butterscotch Sauce Recipe

  • Butterscotch Sauce:
  • 1 1/4 cups packed brown sugar
  • 2/3 cup light-colored corn syrup
  • 1/4 cup LACTAID® Reduced Fat Milk
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • Peanut Waffles:
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 egg yolks, slightly beaten
  • 1 3/4 cups LACTAID® Reduced Fat Milk
  • 1/2 cup cooking oil
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped peanuts
  • 2 egg whites
  • Raspberries, blackberries and/or halved strawberries (optional)
  1. Make Butterscotch Sauce: In a medium saucepan combine brown sugar, corn syrup, 1/4 cup LACTAID(R) Reduced Fat Milk, and butter. Bring just to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, for 20 minutes.
  2. Make Waffles: In a large mixing bowl stir together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. In a medium bowl combine the egg yolks, LACTAID(R) Reduced Fat Milk, and oil; stir into flour mixture all at once, stirring just until combined but still slightly lumpy. Stir peanuts into batter. Set aside.
  3. In a small bowl beat egg whites until stiff peaks form (tips stand straight). Gently fold egg whites into batter, leaving a few fluffs of egg white. Do not overmix.
  4. Pour 1 to 1 1/4 cups of batter onto grids of a preheated, lightly greased waffle baker. Close lid quickly; do not open during baking. Bake according to manufacturer's directions. When done, use a fork to lift waffle off grid. Repeat with remaining batter.
  5. Serve hot with warm Butterscotch Sauce and, if desired, fresh berries.
