Shortbread Waffles

By Gigirox

Ingredients

• 1 3/4 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
• 1 cup sugar
• 4 large eggs
• 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
• A good squeeze of fresh lemon juice

Preparation

Step 1

Sift the flour and sugar together into a large bowl. In a separate medium bowl, beat the eggs with an electric beater until fluffy. Add the eggs to the flour-sugar mixture, and beat together until just combined. Add the butter and lemon juice, and mix until smooth. Do not overmix. The batter will be very thick. Use an ice cream scoop—or a 1/3 cup measuring scoop—to dollop the batter onto a heated waffle iron. Cook until golden.

Yield: 12 smallish (Eggo-size, say) waffles.
