- Cuisine: American
- Diet: Vegetarian
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs, separated
- 1 3/4 cups milk
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s directions.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk the egg yolks, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine.
- In a clean, dry bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the batter in two additions. This step adds the necessary air for fluffiness.
- Pour the batter onto the hot waffle iron. Cook until golden brown and crisp, usually 4 to 6 minutes.
- Serve immediately with your favorite toppings.
Notes
- For extra crispness, use a higher fat content milk.
- Do not press down on the waffle iron lid while cooking.
- If you prefer a richer flavor, substitute half the all-purpose flour with cake flour.
