Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 2 cups cake flour
- 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 3/4 cup sour cream
- 3/4 cup 1% low fat milk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 6 tablespoons powdered sugar
Preparation
- Heat a waffle iron. In a mixing bowl, mix together the cake flour and baking soda and set aside. Separate the egg whites and egg yolks. Whisk together egg yolks, sour cream, milk and vanilla extract. Melt the butter and then mix into the sour cream mixture.
- In a different bowl, beat the egg whites with a hand-mixer on medium speed until soft peaks form, about 3 minutes. Add the granulated sugar to the egg whites and continue to beat until stiff peaks form, about 3 to 4 more minutes.
- Whisk the sour cream mixture into the flour mixture until just combined. Gently fold in the beaten egg whites until mixture is smooth; do not overmix.
- Add about 1/2 cup of the batter to the waffle iron, close and cook for about 3 minutes. Serve waffles with the powdered sugar. Other suggested toppings include fresh berries, whipped cream, jam or syrup.
Helpful hints
- Maple syrup may be substituted for the powdered sugar. If maple syrup is used, 1/4 cup has 54 g carbohydrate and 170 mg of potassium. Some light or imitation pancake syrup may have phosphorus additives; read the ingredient list to try to avoid these additives.
- Strawberries, blueberries and or raspberries can also be an option for topping these waffles. A 1/2 cup of berries adds 5-10 g of carbohydrate and 55-110 mg of potassium, depending on the fruit used.
- If you are limiting carbs change portion to 1/2 waffle and top with berries and whipped cream (30-35 grams carbohydrate).

So disappointed. All I tasted was the sour cream. I’ve never even heard of a sour cream waffle. Can’t recommend if you’re looking for a good traditional waffle.

I saved several of these recipes, anxious to try them. Thank you.

You may substitute the cake flour, by using 1 cup flour, then removing 2 tablespoons and replacing them with 2 tablespoons of corn starch. This way you don't need 2 different types flour.

can you tell me why this does not show up in the meal planner/tracker? Dietitian comment: Newer recipes have not been moved to the Diet Helper recipe collection yet. We do that a couple times a year.

Why can't I pull this up in the planner/tracker ? Dietitian comment: Newer recipes are not automatically added to Diet Helper. We do a transfer a couple times each year.

Can regular white flour be used instead of cake flour, or is cake flour necessary for this recipe. Dietitian comment: Yes if cake flour is unavailable you can use regular flour. For each cup of flour remove 2 tablespoons and stir in 2 tablespoons of corn starch.

Good belgian waffle. Recommended changes - it makes 4 belgian waffles if you fill the waffle maker; and switch sour cream to low fat sour cream, and 1% milk to skim milk. Rather than a tablespoon of powder sugar, top each waffle with 1 cup chopped fresh strawberries mixed with 1 tablespoon of Smucker Simple Apricot jam.
