Belgium Waffles

This is what we had for breakfast for Valentine's Day but it is so easy you can make it any day of the year. The waffles are crisp on the outside and light and fluffy on the inside with a fresh lemon flavor that goes perfectly with strawberries. And I discovered that I can cut strawberries in the shape of a heart. Small things like heart-shaped strawberries make me happy. :-)

Belgium Waffles
1 cup milk
1 Tbs. lemon juice (I use fresh when I have lemons and throw in a little zest but bottled juice works fine too)
1 1/2 cups flour
3 Tbs. ground flaxseed (if you have it)
1 Tbs. sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
3 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. cinamon
2 Tbs. butter, melted
1 tsp. vanilla
3 egg whites, beaten until stiff

In small bowl combine milk and lemon juice. Allow to sit while you work on the rest of the batter. In a large bowl combine dry ingredients and mix well with a wire whisk.  Add in milk mixture (will appear lumpy), butter and vanilla. Mix a little then gently fold in egg whites with a rubber spatula or large spoon until just combined. Pour into hot waffle iron and follow manufacturer's instructions for cooking. Top with fresh strawberries and whipped cream.
