Pancakes or Waffles, you choose

2 eggs, separated
2 cups milk
2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4-1/3 cup oil
2 cup flour, I use wheat flour

For waffles: Beat the egg whites into stiff peaks in a separate bowl. Add the egg yolks with milk, baking powder, baking soda, salt and oil. Mix well, then add flour. Fold in egg whites by hand. Bake on waffle iron and serve! If making pancakes, you do not need to separate the eggs. The rest of the instructions are the same.
