Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 3 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 0.25 teaspoon kosher salt
- 0.75 cup whole milk
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 egg (large)
- 1 egg white (large)
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, granulated sugar, and kosher salt until evenly combined. Set aside.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the whole milk, melted butter, vanilla extract, and egg until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. The batter will be lumpy, which is okay.
In a separate clean bowl, beat the egg white until it forms stiff peaks. Carefully fold the beaten egg white into the batter using a spatula, being gentle to maintain the fluffy texture.
Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions and lightly grease it with nonstick spray or melted butter.
Pour a portion of the batter onto the hot waffle iron, spreading it out gently to cover the surface. Be careful not to overfill.
Cook the waffle until golden brown and crisp, about 3–5 minutes, or until your waffle maker indicates it's ready.
Repeat with the remaining batter until all waffles are cooked.
Serve immediately with your favorite toppings such as fresh fruit, syrup, whipped cream, or a dusting of powdered sugar. Enjoy!
