Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, melted
- 1.5 cups Whole milk (or any non-dairy substitute)
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 2 eggs Large eggs, separated
- 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum (if not already included in the gluten-free flour blend)
- Powdered sugar (optional, for serving)
- Fresh berries or maple syrup (optional, for serving)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and xanthan gum (if using). Set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk the egg yolks, melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
In a separate bowl, using a hand mixer or stand mixer, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the batter using a spatula. This step ensures light and fluffy waffles.
Preheat your Belgian waffle iron and lightly grease it with oil or non-stick cooking spray.
Pour the batter into the preheated waffle iron, spreading it evenly if needed. Close the iron and cook according to the manufacturer's instructions, usually 3-5 minutes, or until the waffles are golden brown and crisp.
Carefully remove the waffle from the iron and repeat with the remaining batter.
Serve the waffles warm, optionally topped with powdered sugar, fresh berries, or maple syrup.
