How to cook deliciously - Sweet Potato Waffles

1. Stage

First, mix together the dry ingredients in a large bowl: the flour, sugar, baking powder, cardamom and salt. Use a separate bowl to whisk up the egg yolks (just the yolks!), sour cream, mashed sweet potatoes, milk and melted butter. Pour the wet mixture into the bowl with the dry mixture. Stir them together, but only until the batter is just moistened. It's OK if there are a few lumps, so don't overmix. Finally, fold in the chopped pecans. (To make them extra tasty, use toasted pecans here.)

2. Stage

Using a hand mixer, stand mixer or whisk, beat the egg whites until they've increased in volume and hold stiff peaks. Then, gently fold the whites into the sweet potato batter. Use just a few long strokes, pulling up from the bottom of the bowl so that the egg whites don't lose too much air.

3. Stage

Preheat the waffle iron according to the manufacturer's directions. Add a scoop of the waffle batter to the iron (the amount you use will depend on the size of your waffle iron, so check the manufacturer's directions for this, too). Close the iron, and cook the waffles until they're golden brown and completely cooked through. For a regular-sized waffle iron, that should be about five minutes. Keep the finished waffles warm on a baking sheet in a low-temp oven, and keep on waffling until all of the batter is used. Serve the sweet potato waffles alongside maple syrup.
