Make the
Spanish chorizos ahead. Past blog post recipe is
here.
Thaw the uncooked Spanish chorizos at room temperature.
Pre-cook the Spanish chorizos in a small skillet, with a tablespoon of cooking oil. Maintain a medium heat to cook the pork chorizos thoroughly for about 6 to 8 minutes. When cooked, drain chorizos on parchment paper to remove excess oil. Then crumble the chorizo so it looks like ground meat. Two crumbled chorizos should yield about ¾ to 1 cup of ground meat. Set aside while preparing the waffles.
Preheat a waffle iron to medium-high heat for about 5 minutes.
In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. (To sift you can use a sifter, or a wire mesh sieve and shake it by hand, or use wire whisk by blending the flour and ingredients inside the bowl.)
In another separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg yolk, vanilla extract, and 3 tablespoons oil until smooth. Whisk in the club soda. Slowly add the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients. Blend well till the batter is smooth.
Using an electric mixer, beat the egg whites in a separate clean bowl. Beat the whites till they form peaks. This should take about 5 minutes. Gently fold in the yolks batter into the whites using a wide spatula. Pour the crumbled Spanish chorizos into the waffle batter. Blend well to incorporate the meat into the mixture.
Pour ¼ cup of the batter into the preheated waffle iron. Adjust settings to medium. Cover the waffle and cook each one for about 6 to 7 minutes or till waffle iron lights up to indicate it is “done”. Put the waffles on a platter and serve while still hot. Sprinkle grated cheddar cheese on top of warm waffles. Serve with scrambled eggs on the side.
Recipe suggestion: If you do not have a waffle maker, use the same recipe and make pancakes, using a medium-sized non-stick skillet, over medium heat. Spray the skillet with cooking spray, pour 1/4 cup batter into the pre-heated pan, cook each side for 3 to 5 minutes. Flip pancakes when there are no more bubbles and the edges are brown.
