1 cup protein drink mix
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
2 tsp cream of tartar
1 large egg, separated
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup water
2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
Directions
Heat waffle iron. Whisk dry ingredients together in a medium bowl.
Whisk yolk with cream, water and butter. Beat egg white until it just
holds a 2-inch peak. Add liquid ingredients to dry ingredients in a
thin steady stream while gently mixing with a rubber spatula; be
careful not to add liquid faster than you can incorporate it. Toward
end of mixing, use a folding motion to incorporate ingredients;
gently fold egg white into batter. Spread appropriate amount of
batter onto waffle iron. Following manufacturer's instructions, cook
waffle until golden brown, 2 to 5 minutes. Serve immediately. (You
can keep waffles warm on a wire rack in a 200-degree oven for up to 5
minutes.) Makes 3 to 4 waffles. NOTES : "If you're out of buttermilk,
try this sweet-milk variation. By making your own baking powder using
baking soda and cream of tartar and by cutting back on the quantity
of milk, you can make a thick, quite respectable batter. The result
is a waffle with a crisp crust and a moist interior." -- Christopher

The History of Recipes
Historians have proved the existence of recipes back into the far past, at least as far into history as the Egyptians, and maybe further still. However, sadly, these old cook books were just very basic pictorial recipes for preparing food.
Fascinatingly, the oldest recipe discovered, according to Professor Solomon Katz, is a collection of ancient tablets in the Sumerian language which show the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making people feel `exhilarated, wonderful and blissful`. As our culinary historical trip moves to more modern times we have some recipe books from the 14th Century - a recipe book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another named `Curye on Inglish`. Surprisingly, these books are not about the curry that is popular today, but rather accounts of the types of meals on the menus of the rich people of that period. Over the next few centuries, the rich families of Wesstern Europe competed to offer the best banquets, and consequentially the best cooks and their recipes were highly sought after. Nevertheless, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that formal cookery and recipe collections became really popular. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the US, devoted much of their lives to collating, verifying, and writing down recipes common in their social group. By the arrival of the twentieth century, cooking publications are in great demand, due to better eduction, people having more spare time and being a little richer. |
