Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs, separated
  • 1 3/4 cups milk
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat your waffle iron according to manufacturer instructions.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
  5. In a clean, dry bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form.
  6. Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the waffle batter until no white streaks remain.
  7. Lightly grease the waffle iron if needed. Pour the recommended amount of batter onto the hot waffle iron.
  8. Cook for 3-5 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp.
  9. Carefully remove the waffle and repeat with the remaining batter.
  10. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, you can add a tablespoon of cornstarch to the dry ingredients.
  • If you don’t have a waffle iron, you can make pancakes with this batter.
  • This recipe is a great base for adding mix-ins like blueberries or chocolate chips.
