Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1.75 cups whole milk
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
- 2 pieces large eggs, separated
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar (for egg whites)
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, and kosher salt. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, egg yolks, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few small lumps are fine.
In a clean, dry bowl, use a handheld or stand mixer to whisk the egg whites until they form soft peaks. Gradually add 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar and continue whisking until the egg whites form stiff peaks.
Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the waffle batter using a spatula. Fold carefully to maintain the airy texture.
Lightly grease the preheated waffle iron with cooking spray or a brush of melted butter. Pour the appropriate amount of batter onto the waffle iron (check the manufacturer's guide), spreading it slightly if needed.
Close the waffle iron and cook until the waffle is golden brown and crisp, usually 4-5 minutes per waffle, depending on your iron.
Carefully remove the waffle and repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the waffle iron as necessary.
Serve the waffles immediately with your choice of toppings, such as fresh fruit, whipped cream, syrup, or powdered sugar.
