Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 1.75 cups whole milk
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs, separated
- nonstick cooking spray
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
In a separate medium-sized bowl, combine the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Add the egg yolks, whisking until the mixture is smooth.
Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Avoid overmixing to ensure the waffles stay light and fluffy.
Using a clean mixing bowl, beat the egg whites with a hand or stand mixer on medium-high speed until soft peaks form.
Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the waffle batter using a spatula. This step helps create light and airy waffles.
Preheat your Belgian waffle maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Lightly coat the waffle grids with nonstick cooking spray.
Pour the batter into the preheated waffle maker, using about 1/2 to 3/4 cup of batter per waffle (depending on the size of your waffle maker). Spread the batter evenly if needed.
Close the waffle maker and cook for 4-5 minutes, or until the waffles are golden brown and crispy on the outside. Adjust the timing based on your waffle maker.
Carefully remove the waffles and repeat the process with the remaining batter.
Serve the waffles warm with your favorite toppings, such as maple syrup, fresh fruit, whipped cream, or a dusting of powdered sugar.
