Then sift over top:

Mix all together and then stir in four egg whites (beaten to soft peaks). Gently fold in. Then load the waffle iron as per your iron's directions and bake. If you are making the whole batch, you can hold them in a warm oven (200) until all are ready to serve. It makes nine (9), seven-inch (7") waffles.

Then add the apple cider mixed with the corn starch and allspice. Coko on low simmer until sauce thickens, which will be about five (5) minutes.
