Bourbon Stout Yam Waffles Recipe

From Real Beer and Good Eats by Bruce Aidells & Dennis Kelly (Random House), for About.com

Stout beer gives a wonderful yeasty flavor to waffles while the yams add a gentle sweetness. These are great for breakfast, but also good for dinner as a change of pace.

Prep Time: 5 minutes

Cook Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1-1/2 cups flour
  • 1 Tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3 eggs, separated
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup Stout
  • 2 Tablespoons bourbon
  • 1 cup mashed cooked yams, cooled
  • 2 Tablespoons melted butter
  • Pinch each nutmeg, cardamom, and ginger

Preparation:

Sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Beat the egg yolks and mix them with the milk, Stout, bourbon, yams, melted butter, and spices. Beat the egg whites until they form soft peaks and fold them into the batter. Cook like ordinary waffles, following your waffle iron instructions. Pour on plenty of good-quality maple syrup.

Yield: 6 waffles with enough for seconds
