Ingredients (Makes 8 waffles)
- 2 cups all-purpose flour (or half whole wheat for a heartier version)
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- 2 large eggs, separated
- 1 ¾ cups milk (whole or buttermilk preferred)
- ⅓ cup melted butter (or oil)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat the Waffle Iron:
- Start by preheating your waffle iron so it’s hot and ready when your batter is mixed.
Combine the Dry Ingredients:
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Prepare the Wet Ingredients:
- In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Mix the Batter:
- Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring just until combined. Avoid overmixing; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Whip the Egg Whites:
- In a clean bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the batter for an extra light and airy texture.
Cook the Waffles:
- Lightly grease the waffle iron if needed. Pour the batter into the waffle iron (amount depends on your waffle maker). Cook until golden brown and crisp, usually 3-5 minutes. Repeat with the remaining batter.
Serve and Enjoy:
- Serve the waffles hot, topped with butter, syrup, fresh fruit, or a dollop of whipped cream.
Tips for Success
- Crispier Waffles: For extra crispy waffles, use buttermilk and let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes before cooking.
- Make Ahead: Cooked waffles can be kept warm in a 200°F (95°C) oven while you finish the batch.
- Freezer-Friendly: Freeze leftover waffles in a single layer, then store in a bag. Reheat in a toaster or oven for a quick breakfast.
