Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons baking powder
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 3 large eggs
- 1.75 cups unsweetened almond milk
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.
In a large bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
Separate the egg yolks and whites. Place the yolks in a small bowl and the whites in a medium bowl.
To the egg yolks, add unsweetened almond milk, melted butter (cooled to room temperature), and vanilla extract. Whisk until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix. A few lumps are acceptable.
Using an electric hand mixer or a whisk, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. This step is important for achieving fluffy waffles.
Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the batter using a spatula, being careful not to deflate them.
Lightly grease the preheated waffle iron with non-stick cooking spray or melted butter.
Pour an appropriate amount of batter into the center of the waffle iron (enough to cover the grids but not overflow) and close the lid.
Cook the waffles according to your waffle iron’s instructions until they are golden and crisp, typically 4-6 minutes.
Carefully remove the waffles from the waffle iron and serve immediately with your favorite toppings such as fresh berries, maple syrup, or whipped cream.
