-
Heat the waffle iron and brush it lightly with the oil.
-
Whisk the egg whites in a clean bowl until they hold a firm peak.
-
In a second bowl, mix the flour, milk, cinnamon, vanilla and maple syrup into a thin, smooth batter. Fold in a third of the egg whites, then fold in the rest.
-
Pour the batter into the iron in batches and cook for about 4 minutes, until golden and crisp, making 4 waffles in all.
-
Serve at once with the blueberries.
Notes From the Method
Do not open the iron before the steam slows; the waffle tears if lifted too early.
Keep finished waffles in a single layer on a rack in a low oven so that they stay crisp.
If the batter thickens as it stands, thin it with a tablespoon of milk.
Storing and Reheating
Best eaten fresh. Cooked waffles keep in the fridge for up to 2 days; crisp them in a toaster.
