Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1.75 cups Whole milk
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 2 Eggs, separated
- Cooking spray or melted butter (for waffle iron)
Instructions
Preheat your waffle iron according to its manufacturer’s instructions.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, vanilla extract, and egg yolks until well combined.
In another clean bowl, use an electric mixer or whisk to beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. This will help make the waffles airy and light.
Pour the milk mixture into the dry ingredients and gently fold until just combined; do not overmix.
Carefully fold the whipped egg whites into the batter using a spatula until just incorporated. The batter should be light and fluffy.
Lightly grease the preheated waffle iron with cooking spray or melted butter.
Pour the appropriate amount of batter into the waffle iron (according to your model's recommendations) and spread evenly.
Close the lid and cook until the waffles are golden brown and crispy, usually 4-6 minutes per waffle (depending on the waffle iron).
Remove the waffles and serve immediately, or place them on a wire rack to keep their crispness. Avoid stacking them, as this can make them soggy.
