Recipe: Spent Grain Waffles

With its rustic sweetness and slightly coarse texture, spent grain has a lot to offer to waffles. In this recipe, spent grain flour teams up with cake flour for a light, airy waffle with all the wonderful nuttiness of whole grain. The outsides are golden brown and slightly crisp, and the insides are soft, moist, and pillowy, thanks to the egg whites that are folded into the batter. Dusted with confectioner's sugar, sprinkled with fresh berries, or drizzled with maple syrup, these will be the star of your brunch table from now on.

  • 1/2 cup of Spent Grain Flour
  • 1 1/2 cups cake flour

  • 1 1/2 cups milk
  • 1/2 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
