Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 2 eggs, separated
- 1.75 cups whole milk
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil (for greasing waffle iron)
Instructions
Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Separate the egg yolks and whites. Place the yolks in a medium bowl and the whites in a small mixing bowl.
In the medium bowl with the yolks, whisk together the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Gradually add the wet ingredients from the medium bowl into the dry ingredients in the large mixing bowl. Stir gently until just combined. The batter may be slightly lumpy, which is fine.
Using a hand mixer or a whisk, whip the egg whites in the small mixing bowl until soft peaks form. Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the waffle batter, being careful not to overmix.
Lightly grease the hot waffle iron with vegetable oil or cooking spray.
Pour an appropriate amount of batter into the waffle iron (follow waffle iron’s instructions for portion sizes) and close the lid. Cook until the waffles are golden brown and crisp, approximately 3–5 minutes.
Carefully remove the waffles and place them on a wire rack to prevent them from getting soggy. Repeat with the remaining batter.
Serve immediately with your favorite toppings, such as fresh berries, whipped cream, syrup, or powdered sugar.
