Directions

ADDITIONS

MAKES twelve 4-½-inch squares. *These tender waffles are practically fat free. The butter granules (such as butter buds) add richness but negligible fat. In repeated testings, we found them to be crispers lighter and more flavorful than the same recipe made with a tablespoon or two of oil. Make the waffles tart by adding one-half cup dried cherries to the batter and serve with Orange and Dried Cranberry Sauce; or sweeter with one-third cup dried blueberries and serve with dried Blueberry Honey Sauce or with a Strawberry-Peach Sauce.

PREPARATION *Prepare sauce of your choice and set aside. Grind the millet in a blender until the kernels are at least half their original size. Place them in a large mixing bowl with the other ingredients except the buttermilk, egg substitute and vanilla, and stir until completely blended.

Add the buttermilk, egg substitute and vanilla and stir until thoroughly blended.

*Coat the waffle iron with a light film of vegetable spray. Heat the waffle iron and cook the waffles according to the manufacturer's directions.

Between each batch stir the batter and spray the grids of the iron to prevent the waffles from sticking. Keep each batch warm and when they are all cooked, serve immediately with the sauce.
