Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 large eggs, separated
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 1/2 cups whole milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Powdered sugar, whipped cream, fresh fruit, or syrup for serving
Instructions:
- Preheat the waffle iron: Heat your waffle iron to the desired setting according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
- Mix the dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Prepare the wet ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Beat the egg whites: In a separate bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
- Combine the ingredients: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Gently fold in the beaten egg whites until fully incorporated, being careful not to overmix.
- Cook the waffles: Pour the batter into the preheated waffle iron, making sure to spread it evenly. Cook the waffles until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside, about 3-5 minutes depending on your waffle iron.
