Instructions
  1. Preheat waffle iron.
  2. Combine flour, oats, baking powder, sugar, and pecans in a large bowl.
  3. Combine egg yolks, milk, and vegetable oil in a separate bowl, and mix well.
  4. Add liquid mixture to the dry ingredients, and stir together.  Do not overmix; mixture should be a bit lumpy.
  5. Whip egg whites to medium peaks.  Gently fold egg whites into batter (for pancakes, see note below).
  6. Pour batter into preheated waffle iron, and cook until the waffle iron light signals it’s done or steam stops coming out of the iron.  (A waffle is perfect when it is crisp and well-browned on the outside with a moist, light, airy and fluffy inside.)  (Or make pancakes.)
  7. Add fresh fruit and a light dusting of powdered sugar to each waffle, and serve.

  1. Measure all ingredients into a blender. Blend for 30 seconds. Scrape down sides. Blend for 15 seconds more. Cover batter and chill for 1 hour.
  2. Heat an 8 inch nonstick crepe pan or skillet over medium heat. Pour just under ¼ cup of the batter into the pan and tilt the pan in all directions so that the batter coats it evenly. Cook about 1 minutes or until the crepe can be shaken loose from  the pan and is lightly browned. Flip and cook on the other side for 30 seconds or until center is set.
  3. Place crepes on wax paper and cool completely.
  4. Fill crepes with fat free cottage cheese and roll into tubes. Top with marmalade. Serve immediately.

Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Grease a baking sheet (unless it is non stick) and set  aside.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, orange zest, baking powder, salt and  baking soda. Using a pastry blender, cut in the ¾ cup cold butter until mixture  resembles coarse crumbs. Add the dried cranberries and mix well.
  3. Add the buttermilk, vanilla and orange extracts. Stir just until moistened.
  4. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface. Knead dough by patting and folding  into a 10 inch circle. Dough will be about 1” thick. With a knife, cut the dough  circle into 8 wedges (like a pie).
  5. Place the wedges 2 inches apart on the baking sheet. If desired, brush with melted  butter and sprinkle with the coarse cane sugar (This will add shine and help them  to brown evenly)
  6. Bake for approximately 20 minutes or until bottom of the scones are golden. Cool  on a baking sheet for 5 minutes. Serve warm.
