Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1.5 tablespoons baking powder
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs, separated
- 1.5 cups milk, preferably low-fat or skim
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon cream of tartar
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and granulated sugar. Whisk together until well mixed.
In a separate bowl, mix the melted unsalted butter, egg yolks, milk, and vanilla extract. Beat until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined; do not overmix. The batter will be slightly lumpy.
In another bowl, beat the egg whites and cream of tartar together using a hand mixer or stand mixer until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the waffle batter, being careful to retain the volume. This will make the waffles light and airy.
Preheat the waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions. Once heated, lightly coat with non-stick cooking spray or brush with a little unsalted butter.
Pour the recommended amount of batter onto the center of the preheated waffle iron. Close the lid and cook until the waffle is golden brown and crisp. This usually takes about 3 to 5 minutes, depending on your waffle iron.
Remove the waffle from the iron and keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter.
Serve warm with your favorite low-sodium toppings like fresh fruit or a dollop of whipped cream.
