Sweet Potato Waffles

Got from "Good Eats" for Food Network

Sift:

2 cups all purpose flour

1 Tbs baking powder

½ tsp salt

Add:

1 cup milk

¼ cup brown sugar

¼ cup melted butter

1 Tbs grated orange zest

1 ½ cups steamed and mashed sweet potatoes  (I just microwaved about 2 medium sized sweet potatoes.  I pushed the "potato" button on my microwave - about 5 minutes?  I microwaved them whole and then scooped out the inside and mashed.)

Fold in:

6 egg whites

This batter is SO thick and so the 6 egg whites are a must!  Mom told me to freeze the egg yolks and use them later to throw into scrambled eggs or French toast.

My reaction: They didn't taste THAT different from our regular recipe.  They were pretty heavy too... BUT they were good.  And I felt healthier eating them because of the sweet potatoes :)  I could definitely taste the orange zest, which was yummy.
